v2.3.0.2 - I have searched but not found a definitive answer to whether the OC sitemap upload works on Google as it constantly says it is unable to fetch the sitemap. I believe that this was a problem in Google a while back, but cannot believe that it hasn't been sorted by now. If I add or delete a product as a test, the OC sitemap changes dynamically, so that part appears to work. Is it "better" to use a sitemap generator tool and upload the sitemap to the root for Google Search Console? or am I missing something in OC please? How are people submitting their sitemaps for indexing?
There is no problem with the OpenCart sitemap (index.php?route=extension/feed/google_sitemap, same as sitemap.xml).
And Google accesses it just fine.
Please provide more details about the exact error you get from Google.

Constant error - "Couldn't fetch" from the Google Search Console
http://ic-express.co.za/index.php?route ... le_sitemap
It does give an "error" This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."
No idea why??

You are using mainly information pages, and a 3rd party extension for tracking. There are no products shown on your website.
Your '.htaccess' is changed or corrupted, it doesn't map the index.php?route=extension/feed/google_sitemap to the sitemap.xml.
And your index.php?route=extension/feed/google_sitemap shows OpenCart demo products.
It might be a good idea to find a professional developer on the commercial support section of this forum to sort these things out for you.

On big sites it can load too slowly so caching is needed.
You could do this by removing the sitemap.xml rewrite in the .htaccess and then adding a cron that generates it daily.
Something like (from memory):

Has this been resolved at all?
I too have a sitemap that just doesn't work. I do have a load of products but when I load it into Google it just says "couldn't fetch"
When I try to view it I get an error 500
https://specialcuddles.com/sitemap.xml
the one for one of my other sites works fine (Takes flipping ages to load - about 2 minutes) but does work
https://mightvape.co.uk/sitemap.xml
file is huge, but Google seems happy with it
Both sites have around 4500 products
Any ideas would be appreciated
