Guide

changefreq and priority in 2026

Google has said it largely ignores changefreq and priority. Accurate lastmod and a clean URL set matter more.

If you still emit these fields for other bots or CMS requirements, avoid marking everything as always / 1.0.

Use this analyzer to confirm your generator is not spamming unrealistic values.

Questions

Frequency Analyzer FAQ

Should I set every page to daily?

No. Overstating changefreq trains nothing useful. Reserve always/hourly for truly dynamic URLs.

Does priority affect rankings?

Search engines largely ignore priority. Keep it only if your stack expects it.
