What is Sitemap?

A sitemap is the file that presents the list of a site's pages to search engines in XML format. It speeds up the discovery of new and deep pages. Above 50,000 URLs it is split into parts using a sitemap index.

Detail

Only pages you want indexed and that return HTTP 200 belong in a sitemap. A sitemap containing 404s or redirects costs trust. On programmatic sites, splitting the sitemap by page type makes it easy to measure which group is getting indexed.

Example

On a 3,000-page structure, splitting the sitemap by type shows which type is failing to get indexed.
