Hi everyone
I am far from being a coder, but I want to see if my job's website has a sitemap.
I found that error, and I have no idea what it means. Sadly at my school, we don't have access to a computer programer.

Hi @MBissett2. In addition to what @kvlschaefer shared, I would look at this SEMrush resource on the best XML sitemap generator tools. Not only could that help you ensure you have one that works, it's also a good learning resource.
What is the website built on for the content management system (CMS)? Is it easy to add the sitemap?
Did my answer help? Please "mark as a solution" to help others find answers. Plus I really appreciate it!
I use all tools available to help answer questions. This may include other Community posts, search engines, and generative AI search tools. But I always use my experience and my own brain to make it human.

Hi @MBissett2 ,
You can simply add /sitemap.xml after your website URL to find your sitemap.
If you still don't find it, go through SEOCrwal's post about Sitemap to learn other ways to discover your sitemap.

Hi @MBissett2,
Thanks for reaching out to the Community!
I found this resource to help get you started. 🙂
According to this guide, "This error appears when the server expects an XML sitemap during validation. But instead, it has received a response of a different content type, which could be an HTML, 404 error, or perhaps the server itself blocked from accessing the sitemap."
I'll add some experts to our conversation - @danmoyle, @JonPayne, @Sam62, @webdew - Do you have any pointers for @MBissett2?
Thanks!
Best,
Kristen
