If your website is hosted by IONOS, make sure to enable the "Disguise as Browser" option ("Crawler" tab) in Aimy Sitemap's options before crawling your website.
Hello Users of Aimy Sitemap,
as of March, 15th there have been a couple of user reports of Aimy Sitemap's crawler being unable to crawl their website(s) anymore.
It turned out all of these users were using IONOS as a hoster. As far as we know it seems some kind of new blocking rule has been implemented by the hoster that disallows access to at least Aimy Sitemap's crawler. In order to make Aimy Sitemap's crawler work as expected again, you need to enable the "Disguise as Browser" option in Aimy Sitemap's options ("Crawler" tab).
Aimy Sitemap's crawler will not identify itself as a crawler anymore afterwards and you will be able to crawl your website as usual again.
If you should experience further issues, please drop us a line.
