Sitemap HTTP error

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

The couldn’t fetch error, is in most cases simply due to a bug in the Search Console.

Can you please follow these steps?
1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:

Once done, clear your website cache and resubmit the sitemap_index.xml in the Search Console.

Hope this helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello,

Could you please share the sitemap URL in the sensitive data section so we can check?

Hello,

I checked the sitemap, all the variations of the sitemap are returning 200 status, you can check using https://httpstatus.io/:
(Check screenshot in the sensitive data section)

Please ensure that only 1 version of the sitemap is working (200 status), and the rest are redirecting to it.

Please follow the steps in this link:
https://rankmath.com/kb/couldnt-fetch-error-google-search-console/#5-check-for-the-correct-version-of-the-sitemap and redirect to the correct version.

Once done, clear the website cache and resubmit the sitemap_index.xml in the Search Console.

Looking forward to helping you.
