Cloudflare did not return a valid Sitemap. The request was blocked by a Cloudflare challenge Ray ID

Question

Using some sitemap check tools and this one from seotesting.com throws in this error.

Plain Text

Cloudflare did not return a valid SitemapThe request was blocked by a Cloudflare challenge Ray ID: *** Please check that the SEOTesting Sitemap Monitor User Agent is allowed in Cloudflare settings User Agent: SEOTestingBot/1.0.0.0 Line 0. Position 0. Occurrences 1.

I've noticed it throws the same error on other webstudio projects as well. Is it something that can be fixed?

There's a SEO tool that I use that's got the same issue, where they need to be on the Cloudflare list. They've applied several months ago but still haven't had luck. At least they are trying.
