Hello,

I tried to disable / enable sitemap feature, but I still have 2 versions of my page-sitemap.xml

one accessible with http://www.example.com/page-sitemap.xml and another one with https://www.example.com/page-sitemap.xml

The http version include all pages with http links.

How can I get rid of this http version to keep only the https ? Google search console and ahrefs tools still crawl the http version.

Thank you

Hello @contremaitre,

Thanks for reaching out about your sitemap. Can you load the sitemap’s HTTP version in a browser? If yes, please provide us with screenshots as I was unable to.

You can use any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/, https://snag.gy/, https://imgur.com/, https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your own website. Once you upload it to an image-sharing service, please share the link to the image here. I am

Hello,

I uploaded the http version as a txt file :

https://www.celeos.eu/page-sitemap.txt

I can view it using wget, and I know google search console and other tools are also using this http version, and they complain about http links in it

I am unable to load the http version in my browser, it redirects to https

But the http version does exist, I shared it in my previous post

Since your website loads from HTTPS, visits to the HTTP version, as it should be, redirect to the HTTPS. So, it’s unclear how Google Search Console and Ahrefs are crawling the HTTP version that doesn’t exist.

Did you add the HTTP web property to Google Search Console? If yes, you should remove it.

It does exist, I can download it with wget, a command line download tool. And it does display a xml file ending with <!– XML Sitemap generated by Yoast SEO –>

I would like to remove this file.
