hey everyone, i'm pretty new to all this and just trying to use the 'Free XML Sitemap Generator' tool for my site. it keeps giving me an error right when it's supposed to be doing the sitemap generaton, almost like it chokes during the initial website crawling phase. below is the console output; just wondering if anyone else has faced this before or knows what i might be doing wrong?
ERROR: SitemapGenerationException: Failed to crawl URL: https://www.myexample.com/somepage - Connection timed out after 30000 ms.
    at com.adsvolt.sitemap.Crawler.crawl(Crawler.java:123)
    at com.adsvolt.sitemap.Generator.generate(Generator.java:45)

The Connection timed out error points to your server not responding within the 30-second limit during the website crawling phase, often due to high server load, slow server response time, or a firewall/CDN blocking access. Check your server's health and security rules; then retry with our Free XML Sitemap Generator or alternatives like Screaming Frog or Ahrefs Site Audit.

okay so the server load was definitely it, cleared it up and the generator actually ran! But now it's missing like half my pages, super weird...
