Sitemap Issues
XML sitemaps should contain maximum 50,000 URLs. Split into multiple sitemaps.
Non-Indexable URLs in Sitemap
Sitemaps should only contain indexable URLs. Remove blocked, noindex, or redirected pages.
Orphan URLs
Link to this sitemap page from the site's navigable pages if it should be discoverable. Links confined to a disconnected group do not make that group reachable.
URLs Not in Sitemap
Add important pages to your sitemap to help search engines discover and crawl them.
Sitemap Over 50MB
XML sitemaps must be under 50MB uncompressed. Split large sitemaps into smaller files.
URLs in Multiple Sitemaps
Each URL should appear in only one sitemap to avoid confusion.
Invalid Sitemap XML
The independently checked sitemap source is not a supported well-formed sitemap XML document. Repair the XML; URL membership cannot be inferred from its readable prefix.
Invalid Sitemap URL
The sitemap contains missing, repeated, nested or invalid URL locations. Use one absolute HTTP(S) URL without credentials in each loc element.
Invalid Sitemap Last-Modified Value
The sitemap contains malformed or repeated lastmod fields. Use a valid calendar date or RFC 3339 timestamp reflecting the page modification.
