My website speed is good both for visitors and admin page.

But my sitemap are loading very slow. I have about 200 sites map with each having 1000 links. I'm using Yoast SEO and these sitemap takes about 2 minutes to load.

I'm not able to submit to Google webmaster console because of this.


Can anyone provide me with a possible solution please?
 
Someone please help. It's rather urgent
 
Sorry admin for bumping. I need help immediately

You need to have Mother child format for those many links .

Sitemap_1.xml --> 50,000 URL
Sitemal_2.xml --> 50,000 URL
and so on

Then create a main sitemap.xml inside that mention all these child sitemaps .

a sitemap can contain up to 50,000 URLs and must not exceed 50MB uncompressed.

https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/sitemaps/build-sitemap
https://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

<sitemap>

<loc>http://www.example.com/sitemap1.xml.gz</loc>

<lastmod>2004-10-01T18:23:17+00:00</lastmod>

</sitemap>

<sitemap>

<loc>http://www.example.com/sitemap2.xml.gz</loc>

<lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod>

</sitemap>

</sitemapindex>

Please go through both URL's it will help you.
 
For an example check this one , how big sites submit

Yes , I have sitemap_index.xml as the main sitemap and inside it are sitemap1, sitemap2 and so on.. Each sitemap has 1K links in it.

It is still loading at a snail pace
 
kinda weird,
you can check the Yoast github: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/12161
hard to say without taking a deeper look in your server and in the configuration of your yoast plugin

I tried every method available online but it does not work at all. So, I just installed another sitemap plugin. This one works better
