Solution

All URLs in your sitemap should point to pages on your own domain. Cross-domain URLs in sitemaps are a configuration error - search engines will ignore URLs that don’t match the sitemap’s domain. Remove external URLs from your sitemap or fix the domain in URLs if they’re incorrectly formatted.
