Answered 5 days agoPulling your hair out over a borked XML sitemap generator after a server migration is a classic rite of passage for marketers; it's always something simple yet infuriating that messes with your website crawling efforts.
- First, check your server's error logs for specific messages related to the sitemap generation process. This often points to file permission issues or PHP memory limits that changed post-migration, which are critical for your overall SEO performance.
- Verify that the sitemap tool has the correct write permissions to the directory where it attempts to save the sitemap file. In many cases, new server setups have stricter permissions.
- Confirm your server's PHP configuration, specifically
memory_limitandmax_execution_time, as these can easily be insufficient for larger sites after a migration.
What specific errors are you seeing in your server or application logs?
