Sitemap

Your XML sitemap lists the pages you want crawled. These issues cover sitemaps that are missing, broken, empty, too large or out of date.

Every lastmod date in the sitemap is over a year old: Every dated page in a sitemap was last modified more than a year ago, which points to frozen dates or content nobody has updated.
Sitemap exceeds the 50,000 URL or 50 MB limit: A sitemap lists more than 50,000 URLs or is larger than 50 MB, past the limits search engines accept for a single sitemap file.
Sitemap has no lastmod dates: No page in a sitemap carries a lastmod date, so crawlers cannot tell which pages changed and need a fresh visit.
Sitemap is not a readable XML sitemap: A sitemap URL returns something other than an XML sitemap, or lists entries with no page URL, so crawlers cannot use all of it.
Sitemap is not listed in robots.txt: Asky found a sitemap that no Sitemap line in your robots.txt points to, so crawlers that rely on robots.txt may never find it.
Sitemap lists no pages: A sitemap loads but lists no pages, or a sitemap index lists no sitemaps, so it gives crawlers nothing to find.
Sitemap not found: Asky could not load an XML sitemap, either anywhere on your site or at a sitemap URL that your robots.txt or Asky lists.
Sitemap returns a server error: A sitemap URL answers with a 5xx server error, so crawlers cannot read the list of pages it holds until it works again.
