Google Search Console cannot fetch my Sitemap?
I checked mysitename.xyz/sitemap.xml is indeed an xml file. I gave that to GSC, but even after a few days, it says Status: Couldn't fetch.
What could be the reason? Maybe the site is too small? or maybe it's got to do with the notice that I see when I open the sitemap in my browser:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
There's a useful article here describing common issues that lead to 'Couldn’t Fetch Sitemap' errors
Based on Wix's documentation it seems like this is an error that sometimes happens for no good reason?
I'd check back in another few days and see if the error persists, then try resubmitting the sitemap URL to GSC
