Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you are facing issues with your website’s sitemap showing a 404 error. This error can impact your site’s SEO and indexing negatively. To resolve this issue, we recommend following these steps:
-
Flush the Sitemap Cache: Clearing the sitemap cache can help resolve the 404 error. You can do this within your Rank Math settings.
-
Ensure Sitemap Accessibility: Check if your sitemap is accessible using a tool like httpstatus.io. Make sure it is not being cached and exclude it from caching if necessary.
-
Submit Correct Sitemap: Ensure you have submitted the correct sitemap, especially the sitemap_index.xml, and check that all inner sitemaps are showing up in Google Search Console.
If you have already taken these steps and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
