\"Google<\/p>

Google was asked if it is possible to add a new status to the XML sitemap statuses for “still processing.” John Mueller from Google responded on Blueshy saying, “I’ve chatted with the teams involved about this on & off, I’ve seen that it can be annoying.” But he added he has nothing to announce.<\/p>

The question was from Kyle Risley who wrote:<\/p>

Is Google open to introducing a “still processing” or similar status for sitemaps that have indeed been crawled, but perhaps are not fully processed? “couldn’t fetch” doesn’t seem to accurately represent this state and leads site operators to think there’s an access issue (there isn’t)<\/p><\/blockquote>

He shared this screenshot to this help document:<\/p>

\"Google<\/p>

John Mueller replied saying:<\/p>

I’ve chatted with the teams involved about this on & off, I’ve seen that it can be annoying… but I don’t have any news or announcements to share, sorry.<\/p><\/blockquote>

This new status, would be useful.<\/p>
