Troubleshooting "Couldn't Fetch Sitemap" Error

1. Make sure sitemap.xml is formatted correctly

Ensure that your sitemap.xml file follows the correct format for proper functionality.

2. Make sure it's in the right location and available publicly

Confirm that your sitemap is located at the appropriate path and is accessible publicly. For example, if your site is blog.redsols.us, the sitemap should be at blog.redsols.us/sitemap.xml.

3. Solution if Google couldn't fetch sitemap

If Google encounters difficulty fetching your sitemap, try using query parameters after the sitemap URL. For instance, /sitemap.xml?v=1 can sometimes resolve fetching issues.
