Xml Sitemap

I think it could be a redirect problem.

this url works: https://cheaplolteams.com/sitemap.xml
but the one Google is attempting to connect to is: https://www.cheaplolteams.com/sitemap.xml

This problem recently came about and the only plugin i recently installed was BPS. hope you can help me out with this =(.

wow what the heck, when i visit my website using the ‘www.’ it brings me to some random page i’ve never seen… https://www.cheaplolteams.com/

I have confirmed that I do see your sitemap.xml file when I do not use the www prefix. I can also view your site without the www prefix. Using the www prefix displays a generic search results page. This generic page could be generated by your Host automatically when they think that you have not created your website yet. Sort of like a temporary placeholder page.

Try adding www to non-www htaccess rewriting code to BPS Custom Code.

And check DNS settings in your web host control panel. You should see a CNAME alias for www. if you do not see that then add it.

Edit: looks like you have an A record so maybe it has something to do with Cloudflare.

[host] => cheaplolteams.com
[type] => A
[ip] => 50.87.146.167
[class] => IN
[ttl] => 300

[host] => www.cheaplolteams.com
[type] => A
[ip] => 50.87.144.22
[class] => IN
[ttl] => 287

currently i have my my WWW CNAME set to Pagespeed servers by google.

huh? Not sure what that means?

Yeah a TXT record but why a CNAME record?

This possibly could be a problem with Google because since im sending my C NAME domain to Google’s server. Wouldn’t they have ultimate control over whether or not i have www redirecting the non-www in my url?

this is what Google told me to do.

Dear Webmaster,

Thank you for your interest in PageSpeed Service.

We found that your site is already setup with CloudFlare. You can setup PSS on top of CloudFlare and receive benefits of both the CDN’s. To setup PSS on top of CloudFlare for ”www.cheaplolteams.com” please follow the below steps :

(1) Log into the CloudFlare DNS Manager and create the ‘cheaplolteams.com’ A record and point it to your Host IP address. Make sure that CloudFlare is disabled for this DNS record. (The record is disabled when the cloud is grey)

(2) CNAME https://www.cheaplolteams.com to ‘pagespeed.googlehosted.com’. If you would like to receive the benefits of both CloudFlare and PSS, make sure that CloudFlare is enabled for this DNS record. (The record is enabled when the cloud is orange) If you would like to only receive the benefits of PSS, you can disable CloudFlare for this DNS record.

We have also included a link to the PageSpeed Service setup instructions: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/pss/setup#cname. Once you are done configuring changes, you can visit https://www.whatsmydns.net/#CNAME/www.cheaplolteams.com to check whether the DNS changes you have made during setup have propagated.

Yeah I was just checking this and I had never heard of anything like this before. I guess make sure you have done all of the other things that are required.

Record Type Host Points to
A @ 1.2.3.4
A origin 1.2.3.4
CNAME www pagespeed.googlehosted.com

If you have an existing DNS A-record for your serving domain, say www.example.com, delete it so that www.example.com has only the CNAME-record that you just added (pointing to pagespeed.googlehosted.com). You should not delete any other DNS records associated with your site.

my hosting provider told me to switch my CNAME back to ‘cheaplolteams.com’ because that why im my www isn’t redirecting me. should i still apply your htaccess method?

Well see what happens after just doing the DNS CNAME change. Normally www and non-www resolve to the same IP/domain name.

hmm interesting. I was not sure what “origin” meant and this is what that is for:

PageSpeed Service will send requests to the origin domain with the Host header set to match your primary domain. You should not expose the origin domain origin.example.com to avoid receiving any direct traffic.

I think when you set this up you would have to use your domain name without “www” or else this problem will occur.

https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/service/setup

okay i setup up the origin and the ‘@’ is already setup it is basically “@” is a special record – it’s the same as just “domain.com” (in this case, cheaplolteams.com)
