Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you are facing issues with your sitemap. To troubleshoot this problem, you can follow these steps:
-
Check if Your Sitemap is Accessible: You can use the httpstatus.io tool to verify if your sitemap is accessible. This will help identify any issues preventing Googlebot from accessing your sitemap.

-
Exclude Sitemaps from Caching: If your sitemap is being cached, you need to exclude it from caching. You can refer to our tutorial on how to exclude Sitemaps from caching for detailed instructions.
-
Ensure Correct Sitemap Submission: If you have not submitted the correct sitemap, make sure to submit sitemap_index.xml
and ensure that all inner sitemaps like post-sitemap.xml are showing up in your Google Search Console when clicking on sitemap_index.xml
file.
If you continue to experience issues with your sitemap, please feel free to reply here, and a human agent from our support team will assist you promptly. Thank you for reaching out to us!
