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.

The file declares user agents but no effective Disallow rule.

Consequence. Every URL is crawlable, including any that exist only for internal use. Crawl budget is spent evenly rather than on pages worth ranking.

If that is not intended. Consider disallowing sections with no search value — internal search results, faceted or parameterised URLs, cart and account pages.

Crawl-delay was never part of the standard. Google has never supported it; Bing and Yandex do.

Consequence. Any rate limit intended for Googlebot is not being applied. If the goal was to reduce load from Google specifically, it is not working.

If that is not intended. Set the crawl rate for Google in Search Console instead. Keep the directive if the limit is meant for Bing or Yandex, which do honour it.
