FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an XML sitemap?

An XML sitemap is a file that lists all the important URLs on your website in a format search engines can read. It helps crawlers discover pages that might not be found through normal link-following, especially on new or large sites.

Does Google require a sitemap?

Google does not require a sitemap, but strongly recommends one. Sites with over 500 pages, new sites with few backlinks, and sites with complex navigation benefit the most. A sitemap ensures no important page is missed during crawling.

What does the priority value mean?

Priority ranges from 0.0 to 1.0 and indicates the relative importance of a URL within your site. It does not affect how Google ranks your pages against other sites. Your homepage is typically 1.0, main categories 0.8, and individual posts 0.6.

How many URLs can a sitemap contain?

A single XML sitemap can contain up to 50,000 URLs and must be under 50MB uncompressed. If your site exceeds these limits, create multiple sitemaps and reference them from a sitemap index file.

How do I submit my sitemap to Google?

Go to Google Search Console, select your property, navigate to Sitemaps in the left menu, enter your sitemap URL (e.g. yoursite.com/sitemap.xml) and click Submit. Google will begin processing it within a few hours.
