Sitemap

A sitemap is a list of every public page on your store. Google uses it to find new products quickly.

What is in it

• Active products, categories and pages.
• Published blog posts (unless set to not be indexed).
• Vendor shop pages on a marketplace.
• Language versions of each page, if you have more than one language on.

Inactive, hidden and deleted items are left out.

Using the Sitemap page

My store → SEO → Sitemap shows:

• Sitemap URL — copy it, or open it in a new tab.
• URL Statistics — counts per type and the total.
• Split Sitemaps — one sitemap per content type, if you want to submit them separately.
• Regenerate Now — rebuild straight away. The sitemap also refreshes on its own within an hour of changes.
• Submit to Google Search Console / Bing Webmaster Tools — opens those sites so you can paste your sitemap link.
• robots.txt Preview.

Known gap

The Sitemap Settings panel (enable a type, change frequency, priority) is only saved in your browser and does not change the real sitemap. Every active type is always included with fixed values.
