Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
I tried to access your site: https://filmybook.cf/ but it doesn’t seem to exist.
If you have any caching setup on your site, please ensure to exclude your sitemap URLs from being cached and resave permalink settings then resubmit your sitemap on GSC.
If the issue persists please share your live site URL so we can look into this further.
Looking forward to helping you.
Hi, I have same issue. I tried but didn’t work. My site https://www.feebin.com/
I have set cache on cloudflare *sitemap* bypass cache but still show error.
filmybook.cf/sitemap_index.xml
This is my sitemap url
Hello,
I tested and validated your sitemap and it seems to be fine from my end. Rank Math is outputting your sitemap correctly and the error must be coming from Google. You can try and use a 3rd party sitemap plugin to confirm. Just make sure you have disabled the Sitemap module of Rank Math in WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Dashboard when using a 3rd party sitemap plugin.
If the other plugin works, please do let us know.
Assuming Google’s unable to fetch the Sitemap is a bug on their end. Please read here
https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/3280971?hl=en
It’s happening with other SEO plugins as well.
The most prominent reason behind that seems to be the introduction of the Indexing API

Google has plans to drop the use of Sitemaps and allow indexing API.
With that said, if your Sitemap is opening fine and online tools, such as the below one, shows no error, you should be fine

Please note you should always submit only the index of the Sitemap, which looks like this
https://rankmath.com/sitemap_index.xml
Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know.
Thank you.
