? Frequently Asked Questions
What is an XML sitemap?
An XML sitemap is a file listing all important URLs on your website with metadata (last modified date, change frequency, priority). It helps search engines discover and index your content efficiently.
How often should I update my sitemap?
Update the sitemap whenever you add, remove, or significantly modify pages. For dynamic sites, generate sitemaps automatically during the build process. Submit updated sitemaps to Google Search Console.
What's the sitemap size limit?
Each sitemap file can contain up to 50,000 URLs and be 50MB uncompressed. For larger sites, create multiple sitemaps and reference them in a sitemap index file.
Should every page be in the sitemap?
Include important, canonical pages only. Exclude pages blocked by robots.txt, duplicate content, paginated pages (except page 1), and low-value pages. Focus on content you want indexed.
What are priority and changefreq values?
Priority (0.0-1.0) indicates relative importance within your site. Changefreq suggests update frequency (daily, weekly, monthly). However, search engines may ignore these in favor of actual change patterns.
