Google Search Console: "Couldn't fetch" and "Type: Unknown" for sitemap on Netlify
I built and deployed my static site serpscaler.com on Netlify, using the default Netlify hosting setup and domain structure. I then manually added a properly formatted sitemap.xml file at the root of the deployed project. I also included a _headers file with the following content to set the correct MIME type: /sitemap.xml Content-Type: application/xml ✅ The sitemap: Loads fine in browsers Returns HTTP 200 OK Shows Content-Type: application/xml when inspected with Redbot and curl Is valid XML (checked with online validators) ❌ The Problem: When I submit the sitemap to Google Search Console at: https://mysite.netlify.app/sitemap.xml I get: “Status: Couldn't fetch” “Type: Unknown” ❓What I Need Help With: Why might Netlify be failing to apply the header correctly? How can I resolve this so that Google can successfully fetch and index the sitemap? I preferbly want to keep everything hosted on Netlify, as I heard its domain has some power idk, just need a working fix or best practice for this issue. Thanks for any insight.
