The max age is coming from my HSTS setup
# BEGIN Really_Simple_SSL_HSTS
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header always set Strict-Transport-Security: “max-age=31536000” env=HTTPS
</IfModule>
# END Really_Simple_SSL_HSTS
I had to use an online sitemap generator then upload it using filezilla Google is now accepting is https over http.
I still would like to get Yoast sitemaps to work thought as manually generating this will become a pain really soon.
I am wondering if sucuri is causing the compression or if its Really Simple SSL’s implementation of HSTS
