sitemap not fecth in google console

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

I’ve checked your sitemap which is loading and validating properly.

However, I checked the sitemap URLs with https://httpstatus.io/, and two variations of the sitemap are returning 200 status as you can see in my screenshot below:

Please follow this guide and redirect to a final variation:

Once done, clear your website cache and try submitting your main sitemap to your Google Search Console again. Then wait for Google to recrawl the sitemap. See if this resolves the issue.

We are looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

I tested further with the tool mentioned by my colleague and the sitemaps seem to be getting cached, likely by Cloudflare. Here’s a screenshot for a quick reference: https://i.rankmath.com/rMQiPP

Please follow this guide to exclude the sitemaps from getting cached in Cloudflare: https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/#cloudflare

You can follow the above guide to exclude the sitemaps from any caching plugins as well.

Then, please flush the sitemap’s cache by following this video screencast: https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp

And clear your website’s cache and remove all the sitemaps from your Google Search Console account, and then submit only the main sitemap: /sitemap_index.xml

Further, give Google some time to crawl your website again and see if that helps.

Let us know how that goes.

Thank you.
