What is an XML Sitemap?

An XML sitemap is a file that lists URLs you want search engines to know about on your website.

It can provide additional information such as when a URL was last modified and how frequently the content is expected to change.

Sitemaps are especially useful for helping search engines discover URLs on websites with many pages or frequently changing content.

Sitemap Best Practices

• Include canonical, publicly accessible URLs that you want search engines to discover.
• Keep URLs consistent with your preferred HTTPS and hostname version.
• Keep the sitemap updated when important URLs are added, removed or significantly changed.
• Reference your sitemap from your robots.txt file when appropriate.
• Submit the sitemap through the relevant search engine webmaster tools when useful.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sitemap.xml file?

A sitemap.xml file contains URLs that you want search engines to discover and crawl.

Where should sitemap.xml be placed?

For a typical website, it is commonly placed at the root of the site, such as https://example.com/sitemap.xml.

How many URLs can an XML sitemap contain?

A standard sitemap file can contain up to 50,000 URLs or 50 MB uncompressed. Larger sites can use sitemap indexes.
