Frequently Asked Questions about seo-sitemap

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an XML sitemap for a large or multi-content-type website?▼

To validate an XML sitemap, the process checks XML validity, URL counts, and HTTP 200 reachability. It identifies lastmod freshness patterns and flags common format or crawl issues to prevent indexing problems and improve website crawlability.

Why does my sitemap include URLs that are not getting indexed?▼

Your sitemap might contain prohibited or risky entries like noindex tags or redirected URLs. Strict inclusion rules enforce canonical-only, HTTPS links without redirects to prevent indexing issues and ensure proper search engine crawl coverage.

Can I check if my XML sitemap aligns with my robots.txt file?▼

Yes, you can perform a robots.txt alignment check during a sitemap audit. This verifies that your sitemap entries comply with crawl directives, ensuring XML validity and URL reachability align with your technical SEO configuration.

What is the best way to split large XML sitemaps without breaking indexing?▼

The best way to split large XML sitemaps is by using sitemap index splitting. This approach generates multiple standards-compliant files, maintaining HTTP 200 reachability verification and strict inclusion rules to preserve indexing coverage for large site architectures.

Do I need to manually remove redirected URLs when creating a sitemap?▼

No, you do not need to manually remove redirected URLs when creating a sitemap. Quality and risk gates automatically flag prohibited entries like redirects and noindex URLs, enforcing strict canonical-only inclusion rules during sitemap generation.
