Questions
- What is a sitemap?
- An XML file that lists the pages you want search engines to find. It helps crawlers discover pages, but it does not guarantee they will be indexed.
- What are the size limits?
- A single sitemap can list up to 50,000 URLs and be up to 50 MB uncompressed. Larger sites split into several sitemaps listed in a sitemap index.
- Where should my sitemap be listed?
- Add a Sitemap line to robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
- Should I list every page?
- List pages you want indexed, using their final addresses. Leave out redirected, blocked and duplicate pages.
