Issue with Google Search Console and Sitemap.xml on swa-recloud.fun

Google Search Console couldn’t process sitemap.xml because:
:one: Cloudflare was blocking Googlebot – requests were returning 403 Forbidden.
:two: Incorrect Content-Type – Google was rendering sitemap.xml as HTML instead of XML.
:three: Cloudflare caching issues – Googlebot was receiving an outdated version of the file.
:four: Missing robots.txt – no reference to sitemap.xml for search engines.

:white_check_mark: How it was fixed:

:heavy_check_mark: Allowed Googlebot in Cloudflare (Firewall Rule + disabled Bot Fight Mode).
:heavy_check_mark: Set Content-Type: application/xml in app.py.
:heavy_check_mark: Cleared Cloudflare cache to apply updates.
:heavy_check_mark: Created robots.txt with the correct sitemap.xml reference.

:rocket: Final Result:

Google can now access the site and Sitemap.
Sitemap is available, but Search Console may take time to process it.
The robots.txt file is correctly configured.

Next Step: Wait for Google Search Console to reprocess the Sitemap.
