What is the difference between manual mode and crawling mode?
Manual mode allows you to input the exact list of URLs you want to include in your sitemap. Manual crawl analyzes your site's pages automatically, starting from a seed URL, following internal links up to 2 levels deep and collecting up to 100 URLs. Suitable for small sites; use manual mode or dedicated tools for large sites.
What does crawl depth 2 mean?
With depth 2, the crawler analyzes page seed (depth 0) first, then all pages linked to it (depth 1), and finally pages linked to those last ones (depth 2). No links are followed beyond the second level, limiting the crawl to a subset of the site.
What are lastmod, changefreq and priority?
Last modified date - useful but not required. Change frequency suggests search engines how often the page changes (daily, weekly, monthly). Page priority indicates its relative importance on your site (0.0 to 1.0). Google generally ignores change frequency and priority; last modified date is more useful if accurate.
Where should I put the sitemap.xml file?
Your site's sitemap must be accessible at the root URL of your site (e.g. https://example.com/sitemap.xml). You then need to declare it in your robots.txt file by adding the line: Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml. You can also manually submit it through Google Search Console to speed up indexing.
