Why do I need a sitemap?
Sitemaps help search engines discover pages they might miss during normal crawling. They're essential for large sites, new sites with few backlinks, or sites with rich media content that need proper indexing.
What's the 50,000 URL limit?
Sitemaps can contain up to 50,000 URLs and be 50MB uncompressed. Larger sites need multiple sitemaps and a sitemap index file. Our generator handles standard sitemap specifications.
How often should I update my sitemap?
Update whenever you add or remove significant content. Set change frequency based on how often content updates: daily for blogs, weekly for news, monthly for static pages.
