XML sitemap
Still how a crawler finds every page rather than the ones it happens to link through.
- What the test asks for
- We request
/wp-sitemap.xmlon your domain over the network, exactly the way an outside client would, and read what comes back. A setting that is switched on but unreachable is not a pass. - Can QWeb Agent Ready add it for me?
- Yes. WordPress generates it and the free plugin makes it discoverable. WordPress publishes this already. We point at it from the Link header so an agent finds it without guessing the filename.
- How settled is this?
- A published standard.
Does your site pass this one?
The free test checks it against your live URL, along with 18 others, and tells you how many the free plugin can fix.
