Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with your corrupted sitemap. To fix this, you can follow these steps:
-
Check if Your Sitemap is Accessible: First, ensure that your sitemap is accessible by using a tool like httpstatus.io. Enter your sitemap URL (https://rankmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Save-Changes.jpg) and check the status to identify any issues preventing Googlebot from accessing it.
-
Validate Your Sitemap: Confirm that your sitemap is correctly configured by using the Validate XML Sitemap tool. Enter your sitemap URL and click VALIDATE SITEMAP to ensure it is set up correctly.
-
Exclude Sitemaps from Caching: If your sitemap is being cached, exclude it from caching. You can refer to our tutorial on how to exclude Sitemaps from caching for detailed instructions.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
Your Sitemap is fine, here’s a screenshot:
The issue is coming from your robots.txt
file. Please navigate to Rank Math > General Settings > Edit robots.txt file and remove the following line:
Sitemap: https://pakakumi.net/sitemap.xml<!-- html is corrupted -->
Replace it with the following:
Sitemap: https://pakakumi.net/sitemap_index.xml
That should help resolve the issue. Don’t hesitate to contact us again with any other questions or concerns regarding Rank Math. We are always happy to help.
Thank you for choosing Rank Math!
