Hi @huifer! I’m not sure I understand the issue. When loading https://zen-huifer.pages.dev/sitemap-index.xml, I see the sitemap index as expected.

[huifer]

May I ask if this can be included on Google

[delucis]

It should work, yes! For example, https://docs.astro.build/ is built with Starlight and we successfully submitted the sitemap to Google.

It doesn’t appear to be a Starlight issue as far as I can tell:

1. The sitemap is generated correctly.
2. The sitemap is available at https://zen-huifer.pages.dev/sitemap-index.xml as expected.
3. Google reports that the index was processed successfully.

The error seems to be related to crawling your site. It might be that Cloudflare is blocking the Google bot crawling your site?

Given this is not a Starlight-specific problem, I will close this issue. Feel free to keep chatting here if it’s helpful, but it might also be good to look to see if there’s advice about indexing Cloudflare-hosted sites online.

@delucis Starlight roboots.txt Can the problem be solved

[delucis]

@huifer Starlight doesn’t add a robots.txt itself, but you can do this yourself easily:

1. Create public/robots.txt inside your project

2. Add the following content:

   User-agent: *
   Allow: /
   
   Sitemap: https://zen-huifer.pages.dev/sitemap-index.xml
