Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sitemap?

+
A sitemap is an XML file that lists all the important URLs on your website. It helps search engines like Google discover and crawl your pages more efficiently. Think of it as a roadmap for search engine bots.

Where are sitemaps usually located?

+
The most common location is /sitemap.xml at the root of your domain (e.g., example.com/sitemap.xml). Sitemaps can also be declared in the robots.txt file. WordPress sites often use /wp-sitemap.xml or plugin-generated paths like /sitemap_index.xml.

Why can't the tool find my sitemap?

+
If we can't find your sitemap, it might be: (1) located at a non-standard path not in our search list, (2) protected by authentication or firewall rules, (3) the website simply doesn't have one yet, or (4) blocked by robots.txt rules.

What's the difference between a sitemap and sitemap index?

+
A regular sitemap (urlset) contains direct links to your pages. A sitemap index (sitemapindex) is a "sitemap of sitemaps" - it contains links to other sitemap files. Large websites use sitemap indexes because a single sitemap can only contain 50,000 URLs.

Should I declare my sitemap in robots.txt?

+
Yes! Declaring your sitemap in robots.txt is the official method recommended by search engines. Add a line like "Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml" to your robots.txt file. You can also submit it directly in Google Search Console.
