SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you fix broken or low-quality XML sitemaps and produce search-engine-ready sitemaps that follow best practices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Sitemap analysis: Validates XML structure, enforces URL rules (HTTPS only, non-redirects, no noindexed URLs), checks HTTP 200 reachability, and reviews lastmod accuracy.
  • Quality-gated generation: Generates new sitemaps using industry templates, plans structure interactively, and applies hard/soft gates for location page volume to reduce thin-content risk.
  • Practical outputs: Produces validation reports for issues and generates sitemap.xml (or a sitemap index) plus STRUCTURE.md for site architecture documentation.

Quick Start

Ask your AI to analyze your current https://example.com/sitemap.xml and return a prioritized validation report plus exact fixes needed to make it compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions about seo-sitemap

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate an existing XML sitemap to check for broken URLs and structural errors?

XML sitemap validation checks structural integrity, enforces HTTPS-only URL rules, verifies HTTP 200 reachability, and flags non-canonical redirects or noindexed URLs. It produces a prioritized validation report with exact fixes needed for standards compliance.

How do I generate a new SEO sitemap that follows best practices for large sites?

SEO sitemap generation uses industry templates to plan structure interactively, applies quality gates to limit thin content, and outputs standards-compliant XML files. It supports sitemap splitting and optional sitemap index generation for large-scale site coverage.

What is the best way to align my sitemap.xml with my robots.txt file?

Sitemap and robots.txt alignment ensures search engines discover all valid pages without conflicting directives. The process validates that sitemap URLs respect robots.txt rules, enforcing HTTPS canonicality and excluding redirects or noindexed URLs from the final output.

Can I split a large sitemap into multiple files to stay within URL limits?

Sitemap splitting breaks large URL sets into multiple standards-compliant XML files and generates an optional sitemap index. This manages large site crawling by keeping each file within size limits while maintaining complete page coverage across content types.

Why does my sitemap include URLs that return redirects or non-200 status codes?

Sitemap quality checks identify URLs returning redirects or non-200 HTTP status codes through reachability validation. The analysis enforces HTTPS-only URL rules, flags non-canonical redirects, and provides exact fixes to remove or update problematic URLs.

Do I need to manually review the lastmod tags in my XML sitemap?

Lastmod quality review automatically checks timestamp accuracy within XML sitemaps during analysis. This validation ensures lastmod tags reflect actual page modification dates, producing a report of inaccuracies and exact corrections needed for search engine compliance.
