Frequently Asked Questions

What is an XML sitemap and why is it important for SEO?
An XML sitemap is a file that lists all the important pages of your website, helping search engines like Google discover and crawl your content more efficiently. It's crucial for SEO because it ensures search engines can find all your pages, especially new or updated content that might not be linked from other sites.
What should I set for change frequency and priority?
Change frequency indicates how often content is updated: use "daily" for blogs/news, "weekly" for regularly updated content, "monthly" for stable pages, and "never" for archived content. Priority (0.0-1.0) helps search engines understand which pages are most important - set higher values (0.8-1.0) for key pages like homepage and main content, lower values (0.1-0.3) for less important pages.
Where should I upload the generated sitemap?
Upload your sitemap.xml file to the root directory of your website (same location as your homepage). Then submit it to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. You can also reference it in your robots.txt file by adding: "Sitemap: https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml"
How many URLs can I include in a sitemap?
A single sitemap file can contain up to 50,000 URLs and be up to 50MB uncompressed. If you have more URLs, you should create multiple sitemap files and use a sitemap index file to link them all together. Our generator automatically handles the formatting for any number of URLs you provide.
Do I need to include all pages of my website in the sitemap?
Include all pages you want search engines to index and rank. Exclude pages with duplicate content, thin content, or pages blocked by robots.txt. Focus on including your most valuable content - product pages, blog posts, category pages, and important informational content. Don't include administrative pages, search result pages, or pages with sensitive information.
