 * Thank you for looking into this [@vit-1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vit-1/)
   🙂 I’m afraid there’s a little more to this.
 * [@scouserdave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scouserdave/) your site is
   accessible via both HTTPS as HTTP. The website home address is probably set based
   on the request via a `wp-config.php` constant (e.g. `WP_HOME`).
 * Search engines tend to crawl HTTPS before HTTP nowadays, and it is probably why
   your sitemap was hit via an HTTPS request earlier. This request caused TSF to
   generate its URLs with the HTTPS scheme. Once generated, the sitemap is cached
   in your database until the next update (or after 7 days). It is why it all “seems
   okay” for now.
 * You can work around this issue by setting your preferred canonical URL scheme(
   HTTP) at “SEO Settings -> General -> Scheme Settings”.
