Frequently asked questions
What is an XML sitemap?+
An XML sitemap is a structured file that lists URLs you want search engines to discover.
How many URLs can an XML sitemap contain?+
A sitemap protocol file can contain up to 50,000 URLs and be up to 50 MB uncompressed.
What is a sitemap index?+
A sitemap index lists child sitemap files. This checker shows those child sitemap entries without automatically crawling them.
Is lastmod required in a sitemap?+
No. lastmod is optional and should be used only when it represents a meaningful update.
Does changefreq affect Google rankings?+
No. It is an optional hint and does not directly improve rankings.
Does priority improve SEO rankings?+
No. priority is an optional sitemap hint and does not directly improve rankings.
Should sitemap URLs use HTTPS?+
HTTPS is normally preferred when your canonical site uses HTTPS, but this checker reports HTTP URLs as a review item rather than an automatic error.
How do I know if my sitemap is valid?+
Confirm it has a supported root, valid HTTP or HTTPS locations, and no structural or entry warnings that need review.
