Detailed Analysis

Critical

1 declared sitemap could not be fetched

The URL is declared in robots.txt but does not return a successful response.

Consequence. Crawlers find nothing at the address they were pointed to, so no URLs are submitted. This is worse than declaring no sitemap, because the declaration suggests discovery is covered when it is not.

If that is not intended. Publish the sitemap at the declared URL, or correct the URL to where it lives.

Warning

A "Noindex:" directive appears in robots.txt

Google removed support for Noindex in robots.txt in September 2019. No crawler honours it.

Consequence. Pages this line was meant to keep out of search are being indexed normally. The line reads as protection while providing none.

If that is not intended. Serve "X-Robots-Tag: noindex" as an HTTP header, or add <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> to the page. The page must stay crawlable for either to be seen.
