Frequently Asked Questions

Learn how XML sitemaps impact technical SEO, indexing speed, and crawl budget.

What is an XML sitemap and why does my website need one?

An XML sitemap is a structured file that lists all important URLs on your website. It helps search engines like Google and Bing discover, crawl, and index your pages more efficiently, ensuring new or updated content appears in search results faster.

How do I upload and submit my generated sitemap.xml?

1. Download the generated sitemap.xml file. 2. Upload it to the root directory of your website hosting (e.g. https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml). 3. Submit the sitemap URL in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools under the 'Sitemaps' section.

Why does this generator exclude certain pages?

Search engines strongly recommend including only canonical, status 200 (OK) indexable pages in sitemaps. Our crawler automatically excludes pages with 'noindex' directives, broken 404 links, redirects, and non-HTML assets like PDFs or ZIP files.

Are <priority> and <changefreq> required by Google?

No. Google has officially stated that Googlebot primarily focuses on <loc> and accurate <lastmod> timestamps, ignoring <priority> and <changefreq>. However, other search engines (like Bing and Yandex) and third-party SEO audit tools may still evaluate them.

What is the maximum limit for a single sitemap file?

The official sitemaps.org protocol limits a single sitemap file to 50,000 URLs and 50MB uncompressed file size. For sites with more than 50,000 URLs, multiple sitemaps should be organized using a Sitemap Index file.

How should I reference my sitemap in robots.txt?

Add a line at the top or bottom of your robots.txt file pointing to your sitemap: 'Sitemap: https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml'. This allows search bots to immediately find your sitemap upon their first visit.
