Blocked sitemap URLs are typically caused by web developers improperly configuring their robots.txt file. Whenever you’re disallowing anything you need to ensure that you know what you’re doing otherwise, this warning will appear and the web crawler may no longer be able to crawl your site.

Here are a few things you should check when attempting to solve a “sitemap contains URLs which are blocked by robots.txt” error

• Check for any Disallow rules within your robots.txt file. The robots.txt file should be located in your root directory
• Use the robots.txt Tester available within the Search Console to check which warnings/errors are being generated

The standard specifies how to inform the web robot about which areas of the website should not be processed or scanned.
