What Belongs in a Sitemap

Include only canonical, indexable URLs that return 200. Redirects, noindex pages, duplicates and paginated variants dilute the file and waste crawl budget. A sitemap is a recommendation of what matters, not an inventory of everything that exists.

The lastmod date should reflect genuine content changes. Setting every URL to today on each regeneration is a common automated mistake, and search engines learn to discount lastmod entirely from sites that do it.

Priority and changefreq have little practical effect on major search engines. Accurate lastmod and a clean URL list matter far more than tuning those values.

Submission and Ongoing Maintenance

A single sitemap holds up to 50,000 URLs or 50MB uncompressed. Beyond that, split by section and reference the parts from a sitemap index, which also makes coverage problems easier to isolate.

The old ping endpoints have been retired. Submit through Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, and reference the file from robots.txt so crawlers discover it independently.

Check the coverage report after submitting rather than assuming acceptance. 'Discovered but not indexed' on many URLs usually points at thin content or weak internal linking, not at a sitemap problem.

What a sitemap does for a small site

It tells search engines which pages exist so nothing gets missed β€” that's all. It doesn't boost rankings. Where it earns its keep: new sites with few backlinks (Google finds you slowly otherwise), and sites whose pages aren't well linked to each other. A 15-page site with clean navigation would eventually get crawled fine β€” the sitemap just removes "eventually".

Doing it properly

Reality check on the ~date fields

Google has said it largely ignores priority and changefreq; don't agonise over them. lastmod is used when it's truthful β€” auto-stamping every URL with today's date is the fastest way to get it ignored. After submitting, Search Console's coverage report tells you what actually got indexed; expect days-to-weeks, not hours.
