  • Hi @eyadwp,

    Could you please try adding the sitemap.xml file to the exclusion list in Hummingbird.

    Best regards,

    Hi Anton,
    thank you for your reply,
    i cannot find the exclusion list in hummingbird?
    how can i exclude the sitemap?

    Hi @eyadwp,

    Please go to Hummingbird – Caching – Page Caching, there will be a section called Exclusions. There should already be an entry for sitemap\.xml, but if it’s not there, or the file is named differently, you should add that name there as well.

    Best regards,
    Anton

    Hello @eyadwp,

    Trust all is well!

    We’ve not heard from you in a while. I’ve marked this ticket as resolved for now, but if you need anything else at all, we’re here for you, please just reopen the ticket or create a new one.

    Have a good day!

    I had a similar problem. Hummingbird adds a HTML comment at the beginning of document which I think causes the problems in e. g. Google Console.

    For Yoast SEO plugin’s sitemaps I’ve added 2 entries
    In Caching > Exclusions > Url strings

    \/sitemap_index.xml
    \/*sitemap.xml

    note the escaped slash at the beginning of each string

    Seems to resolve the problem.
