Sitemap Import Fields

📘 Field descriptions for XML sitemap data, including whether a URL appears in a sitemap, its declared priority, change frequency, and last modified date.

Overview

Sitemap Import fields reflect the metadata declared in your XML sitemaps. Botify ingests sitemap files and joins this data with crawl results, letting you compare what your sitemaps claim against what the crawler actually found. Common use cases include identifying pages in the sitemap that return errors, and pages that should be in the sitemap but aren't.
