Sitemaps cannot be submitted to Google

Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues submitting your sitemap to Google. The error message you’re seeing could be due to an HTTP error, which can prevent Google from accessing your sitemap.

To troubleshoot this issue, you can follow these steps:

1. Check Sitemap Accessibility: You can use a tool like httpstatus.io to check if your sitemap is accessible. If it’s not accessible, it could be due to server misconfigurations or other issues.

2. Exclude Sitemaps from Caching: If your sitemap is being cached, you need to exclude it from caching. You can find a tutorial on how to do this here.

3. Submit Correct Sitemap: Ensure that you have submitted the correct sitemap to Google. The correct sitemap URL should be in the format `https://rankmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Rename-the-sitemap-file-2.png

If you’ve tried these steps and are still encountering issues, please let us know, and we’ll be happy to assist you further.
