History of your Sitemaps
Note: this feature is only available for upgraded PRO Sitemaps accounts
We maintain a detailed log of all changes made to your website, including added, removed and modified pages, images and videos.
This information is organized in a "Site History" report that lists all sitemap updates performed for each website.
Each "site history" record is linked to a separate report providing an in-depth summary of changes made to the website.
This report provides a comprehensive comparison of the current sitemap with the previously generated one, highlighting newly added and/or removed pages. Additionally, it includes a complete list of new or removed images and videos, along with links to the pages where these resources are found.
Another crucial section of this detailed report is the Skipped Pages list. These are links that appear on the website but are excluded from the sitemap for various reasons:
- The page's canonical meta tag points to a different URL. open_in_newLearn more
- The link is restricted by your website's robots.txt file
- The link redirects to a different URL upon access
- The subdomain does not match the specified "Starting URL". There is an option to include links from subdomains if needed
- The link matches the "Exclude URLs" settings specified in your account configuration
- "Non-20x HTTP Response Code" - A standard HTTP response from a web server should have a "200" code. If not, the page is excluded from the sitemap. For example, "404" indicates "File not found", "403" means "Access forbidden", and "500" signals a "Server error".
