# Sitemap Analysis & Generation ## Mode 1: Analyze Existing Sitemap Discover candidates before reporting a sitemap missing: ```bash "$HOME/.claude/skills/seo/bin/claude-seo" run sitemap_discovery.py <url> --json ``` The helper reads every bounded `Sitemap:` declaration in robots.txt, validates cross-host targets through the shared SSRF-safe fetch layer, and still probes common paths when a declared sitemap is stale or invalid. Use only entries in `found`; preserve declared failures as findings instead of treating a robots.txt line alone as proof that a sitemap works. ### Validation Checks - Valid XML format - Per-file limit: **≤50,000 URLs AND ≤50MB uncompressed** (whichever is hit first) - All URLs return HTTP 200 - `<lastmod>` accurate: must be a valid **W3C Datetime** and reflect the **last significant content change** (main content, structured data, links, not copyright/boilerplate edits). Google only honours `<lastmod>` when consistently and verifiably accurate, so warn when values are suspiciously uniform or newer than the page's real content. - 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...
