 * Hi Gioni,
 * I’m noticing 404 errors for sitemap pages in traffic logs, like these: [https://imgur.com/a/gqSp4td](https://imgur.com/a/gqSp4td)
 * Any idea why this might be happening? All those URLs are valid and don’t return
   404 code when visited.

 * Hi! They can produce 404 Errors but still be rendered as normal XML sitemap pages.
   This is the nature of the HTTP protocol. Check the actual HTTP code in the browser
   console on the Network tab.
