📖 About XML Sitemaps
An XML sitemap is a file that lists all the important pages on your website. It helps search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo discover and crawl your content more efficiently.
Sitemap Elements
- loc - The URL of the page (required)
- lastmod - When the page was last modified
- changefreq - How often the page typically changes
- priority - Relative importance of the page (0.0 to 1.0)
💡 Pro Tip: Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Also, reference it in your robots.txt file for automatic discovery.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
A single XML sitemap can contain up to 50,000 URLs and must be no larger than 50MB uncompressed. For larger sites, create multiple sitemaps and reference them in a sitemap index file.
Upload your sitemap.xml to the root directory of your website (e.g., example.com/sitemap.xml). Then submit it to Google Search Console and add a reference in your robots.txt file.
Update your sitemap whenever you add, remove, or significantly modify pages on your website. For dynamic sites, consider using automated sitemap generation tools or plugins.
