Sitemap cannot be retrieved on Google Search Console

Hi! I do have a problem with this sitemap. I am completely ignorant about SEO. My website runs on lovable, and I am using LovableHTML to render everything. However, my sitemap has been stuck in "impossible to retrieve" for so long. Can anyone help me?

Just to reflect, what was the Google Penguin fuss all about?

How much do you trust the authority of Canonical?

I compared the SEO benefits of faceted navigation and internal search, and examined whether using canonical tags on actual pages actually saves crawl budget thanks to the original URL. After reviewing various factors, I’m skeptical that canonical tags actually deliver the benefits Google claims, and I believe they don’t have a significant impact in practice.

What stood out: Heavy “alternatives” pages They seem to target queries like: “X alternative” “X vs Y” Classic intent capture, but done at scale across competitors. Tool-based landing pages (x → PPT) Stuff like: PDF to PPT Word to PPT Text to PPT These map really well to high-intent, conversion-ready keywords. Content for students (top-of-funnel) Things like essay examples, topics, etc. Not directly monetizable, but huge traffic potential. Clear positioning in content A lot of pages push the idea of “business-ready structure,” not just design — which differentiates them from design-first tools. My take: They’re basically building a full funnel via SEO: TOF: informational/student content MOF: alternatives/comparisons BOF: tools + product pages Nothing fundamentally new — but the execution + coverage is solid. Curious what...
