# Sitemap Analysis & Generation ## When to Use - Use when analyzing an existing XML sitemap or generating a new one. - Use when the user mentions sitemap issues, sitemap generation, or sitemap validation. - Use when checking URL coverage, sitemap limits, and sitemap quality rules. ## Mode 1: Analyze Existing Sitemap ### Validation Checks - Valid XML format - URL count <50,000 per file (protocol limit) - All URLs return HTTP 200 - `<lastmod>` dates are accurate (not all identical) - No deprecated tags: `<priority>` and `<changefreq>` are ignored by Google - Sitemap referenced in robots.txt - Compare crawled pages vs sitemap; flag missing pages ### Quality Signals - Sitemap index file if >50k URLs - Split by content type (pages, posts, images, videos) - No non-canonical URLs in sitemap - No noindexed URLs in sitemap - No redirected URLs in sitemap - HTTPS URLs only (no HTTP) ### Common Issues | Issue | Severity | Fix | |-------|----------|-----| | >50k URLs in single file | Critical | Split with sitemap index | | Non-200 URLs | High | Remove or fix broken URLs | | Noindexed URLs included | High | Remove from sitemap | | Redirected URLs included | Medium | Update to final URLs | | All

Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
