Hi, my search console is not reading my sitemap. The ‘last read’ was like 4 days ago.

I used the sitemap validator tool to check it and I see this error

Incorrect http header content-type: “” (expected: “application/xml”)

Then I followed the solutions on the page
https://rankmath.com/kb/incorrect-http-header-content-type-sitemap-error/

But is still not working. Please help.

Hello,

To further test the sitemap, could you please remove the sitemap from GSC one more time and try submitting this URL instead https://www.glamcityz.com/?sitemap=1? Here’s a link for more information:

Once done, give Google some time to recrawl your site and check if the issue still persists.

We are looking forward to helping you and we deeply apologize for the inconvenience.

Hello,

Thank you for the update.

Could you please confirm if the Last read date is already updated?

If not yet, please give it some time for Google to recrawl your sitemaps.

Looking forward to helping you.

It does. I don’t know why it has updated yet. Seems I’ll have to give Google more time to recrawl the sitemap

Hello,

Please wait for Google to recrawl the sitemap and update the last read date.

Let us know if the issue persists even after that.

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

I can check that your sub-sitemaps are not working fine and Hummingbird is adding the code at the start that is causing the issue.

Please follow this guide to exclude the sitemaps from the Hummingbird cache: https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemap-hummingbird-cache/

Once done, submit the sitemaps again and wait for the next crawl.

Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

I have done that and re-added the sitemap.
