Frequently asked questions
What are the sitemap limits?
A single sitemap may contain up to 50,000 URLs and be up to 50 MB uncompressed. Larger sites use a sitemap index.
Can it fetch my sitemap by URL?
Not in this version. Open your sitemap in a browser, copy the XML and paste it here. Nothing is uploaded.
