Frequently Asked Questions
What is an XML sitemap? ▼
An XML sitemap is a file that lists all the important pages on your website in a format search engines can easily read. It includes each URL along with optional metadata like last modification date, change frequency, and priority. This helps search engines discover and crawl your content more efficiently.
Does a sitemap guarantee indexing? ▼
No. A sitemap is a suggestion to search engines, not a command. It tells crawlers about pages they might not discover through normal linking. Whether a page gets indexed depends on content quality, crawl budget, and Google's assessment of the page's value.
What should the priority value be? ▼
Priority ranges from 0.0 to 1.0 and indicates relative importance within your site. Your homepage might be 1.0, main category pages 0.8, individual pages 0.6, and support pages 0.3. The values are relative to each other — setting everything to 1.0 is the same as setting everything to 0.5.
How large can a sitemap be? ▼
A single sitemap can contain up to 50,000 URLs and must not exceed 50MB uncompressed. For larger sites, create a sitemap index file that references multiple sitemap files. You can also gzip sitemaps for faster transfer.
How do I submit a sitemap to Google? ▼
Add a Sitemap directive to your robots.txt file: "Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml". You can also submit it directly through Google Search Console under the Sitemaps section for faster processing.
Is my data stored? ▼
No. All generation happens in your browser. No URLs are sent to any server.
