The stylesheet, http://gratuitance.ddns.net/main-sitemap.xsl, isn’t reachable (404) which is why the human-readable browser view of your sitemap index, http://gratuitance.ddns.net/index.php/sitemap_index.xml, is blank. Please refer to this kb article: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/my-sitemap-is-blank-what-s-wrong/

Please note that the stylesheet is only used to render the human-readable browser view of the sitemap and doesn’t affect how search engine crawls it. We confirm that the sitemap is being generated correctly by checking its source code and that Google will be able to parse it without problems.
