What is a sitemap error?

A sitemap error occurs when the sitemap file has issues like invalid XML syntax, incorrect URLs, blocked pages, or exceeds size limits that prevent search engines from properly crawling your site.

How do I fix sitemap errors?

Fix sitemap errors by validating your sitemap XML, using proper absolute URLs, removing blocked or broken URLs, splitting large sitemaps, and ensuring UTF-8 encoding.

Can sitemap errors affect my SEO?

Yes. Sitemap errors can prevent search engines from indexing important pages, cause crawl inefficiencies, and negatively impact your website’s search ranking.

How often should I check my sitemap for errors?

Ideally, you should monitor your sitemap regularly—at least once a week via Google Search Console—to catch and fix errors early.
