Rank Math free

Hello,

I have been using the rank math free plugin on my blog for years and I am creating my sitemap file as a rank math plugin. I am encountering the problem that the sitemap could not be read 2 times a year in the Google search console tool And this problem is happening out of the blue.

Now Google Bots have read my sitemap on April 3 and the result is showing as successful.

When I click on my sitemap file, I see that Google bots do not read it and as a result it seems to fail.

Organic hits on my site have crashed and are heading towards zero because I’m having a semi-annually 403 error issue in my sitemap.

My Google Analytics data after 403 issue:

Hello,

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

I checked the sitemap URLs with https://httpstatus.io/, two variations of the sitemap are returning 200 status.
Check the screenshot in the sensitive data section.

Please follow this guide and redirect to a final variation:

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

Hope that helps.

Thank you.
