sitemap could

@alessandrovish We checked on the sitemap and were not able to find any issues that would prevent Google from fetching it. We suggest the following actions:

1. Clear all your caching from your theme, plugin, server, CDN like CloudFlare or browser. If you are not sure how to clear caching from theme/plugin please speak to those authors. If you want to clear cache from the server, please speak to your host provider. To clear the cache from a browser use this guide: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-clear-my-browsers-cache/.

2. Delete your sitemap in Google. Doing so will not hurt the SEO of the site. This guide explains more (scroll to the bottom): https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/183669?hl=en.

3. Submit the sitemap again. Be sure to submit only sitemap_index.xml and nothing else. This guide explains more: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/submit-sitemap-search-engines/.

4. Edit your robots.txt to remove your sitemaps. This guide explains more: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-edit-robots-txt-through-yoast-seo/

5. Monitor the results to see if more pages get indexed

Same problem. These methods do not help. People write that this is a problem in the new Google console. Checked the same thing on several sites. There are no problems with the site map in Yandex and Bing.

@wpschools If resubmitting the sitemap does not resolve the warning, it may be due to a bug or issue in Google Search Console. We would recommend first checking the sitemap for any issues in a validator, and if no issues are found, we would then recommend checking the sitemap in Google Search Console using the URL Inspection Tool.

To check whether the sitemap can be fetched using the URL Inspection Tool in Google Search Console you would need to perform the following steps:

Click on ‘URL Inspection’ in the left hand menu
Enter the URL of your sitemap in the entry field
Since the sitemap is intentionally set to ‘noindex’, the page will not be in Google’s index.
Click the ‘Test Live URL’ button
After the Live Test is complete, check the ‘Page Fetch’ status which is located under ‘Crawl’

We also we have a guide on using the URL Inspection Tool feature here: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/fetch-as-googlebot/

If you continue to experience the ‘Couldn’t Fetch’ error, you can also reach out to Google Search Console support at the following link: https://support.google.com/webmasters/?hl=en#topic=9002753
