Frequently Asked Questions
An XML sitemap is a structured file that lists all important URLs on your website, along with metadata about each URL such as when it was last updated, how often it changes, and its importance relative to other pages. This helps search engines like Google discover, crawl and index your website content more efficiently.
- Download the generated XML file
- Upload it to your website's root directory as "sitemap.xml"
- Add the sitemap URL to your robots.txt file by adding this line:
Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml - Submit the sitemap URL to search engines through their webmaster tools:
- Google Search Console
- Bing Webmaster Tools
- Yandex Webmaster
Our crawler works by:
- Starting from your provided URL
- Following all internal links within your domain
- Processing URLs in batches to improve performance
- Limiting to 500 URLs maximum for efficiency
- Setting priorities based on URL depth (homepage gets highest priority)
- Determining change frequencies based on URL patterns (blog posts, product pages, etc.)
- Excluding non-HTML content, files, external links, and duplicate URLs
A sitemap is beneficial for your website for several reasons:
- Better Indexing: Helps search engines discover and index all your important pages
- Faster Discovery: New or updated content gets discovered and indexed more quickly
- Improved Crawl Efficiency: Search engines can allocate their crawl budget more effectively
- Content Hierarchy: Communicates the relative importance of different pages on your site
- Content Organization: Provides a structured overview of your website's content
- SEO Benefits: Can lead to better visibility and higher rankings in search results
How often you should update your sitemap depends on how frequently your website content changes:
- For frequently updated websites (news sites, blogs with daily posts): Update daily or weekly
- For moderately updated websites (regular content additions): Update weekly or bi-weekly
- For relatively static websites (few content changes): Update monthly
Additionally, you should regenerate your sitemap whenever:
- You add new sections to your website
- You make significant changes to your site structure
- You remove or add a substantial number of pages
