Publish an XML sitemap

A sitemap is how Google reliably discovers and prioritises every URL — critical for large or deep sites and brand-new pages that have no internal links yet. Without it, new content can sit unindexed for weeks.

How to fix

Generate /sitemap.xml with all canonical, indexable URLs and lastmod, declare it in robots.txt, and submit it in Google Search Console. Keep it auto-updated on publish.

# robots.txt
Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml
