Issue: Your sitemap.xml is too big (over 50 MB or 50,000 URLs), which may prevent search engines from crawling your site properly.

Fix: Split your sitemap into smaller files and use a sitemap index file to list them. Update your robots.txt with the new sitemap locations.

Tip: Smaller sitemaps ensure efficient crawling and indexing by search engines.
