Frequently Asked Questions
What is an XML sitemap?
An XML sitemap is a file that lists all the URLs on your website to help search engines discover and crawl your pages. It follows the sitemaps.org protocol and includes optional tags like changefreq and priority.
What is an XML sitemap used for?
An XML sitemap helps search engines discover and index your website's pages more efficiently. It lists all important URLs along with metadata like update frequency, priority, and last modification date, improving your site's SEO performance.
What priority and change frequency values should I use?
Priority ranges from 0.0 to 1.0, with 1.0 being most important. Reserve 1.0 for your homepage and 0.8 for key content pages. Change frequency options include always, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and never, reflecting how often a page is updated.
How many URLs can I include in a sitemap?
According to Google's guidelines, a single sitemap file can contain up to 50,000 URLs and must not exceed 50 MB uncompressed. If you have more URLs, use a sitemap index file to reference multiple sitemap files.
Do I need to regenerate my sitemap after website changes?
