Guide

When you need a sitemap index

Use an index when you have multiple urlset files - by locale, section, or to stay under per-file limits.

Reference only the index from robots.txt so crawlers discover children in one hop.

Validate the index and children with the sitemap checker after deploy.

Questions

Sitemap Index FAQ

Do you crawl my website?

No. These builders work from pasted URLs or XML in your browser - safer and faster for founder workflows.

What is the 50,000 URL limit?

Google and Bing document a soft per-file limit of 50,000 URLs (or 50MB). Split large lists, then point robots.txt at an index. See the sitemap checker.

Where should I host the file?

At a public HTTPS URL referenced by a Sitemap: line in robots.txt (often /sitemap.xml or /sitemap_index.xml).
