Everything looks ok on our end. The URL Inspection is likely failing because the sitemap is empty and the domain is extremely new with almost no public content.

Yes, this usually means Bing has found your URL but is unable to crawl it properly. In most cases, the issue is caused by a blocked `robots.txt`, firewall or Cloudflare restrictions, server errors, or very thin content. Check that your site returns a 200 OK status, submit your sitemap, and request indexing again after fixing any crawl issues.
