Struggling with Google Search Console errors for my Laravel sitemap, pages not indexing properly
Hey everyone, I just launched my Laravel app a few weeks ago and I'm trying to get my sitemap working correctly. The problem is, Google Search Console is reporting some pretty frustrating errors with it, and consequently, new pages aren't getting indexed as expected. I'm really looking for common troubleshooting steps or solutions to resolve these sitemap and general indexing issues. Anyone faced this before?

First, double-check your `robots.txt` for any disallows blocking your sitemap or key sections, and ensure all URLs in your sitemap are absolute and return 200 OK responses, addressing any potential site structure issues. Have you tried validating your sitemap using an external tool?
