Free XML Sitemap Generator acting up: why won't it reliably update the site index?
0
hey everyone, so our 'Free XML Sitemap Generator' has been, uh, having a moment lately. it's been pretty flaky, inconsistently failing to update the `site index` like it's supposed to; it's like it forgets the `sitemap protocol` sometimes. any ideas why this little digital diva is acting up or what we can do to make it actually behave and reliably update the index? thanks in advance!

Answered 1 week agoHello Leonardo Martinez,
Your "digital diva" XML sitemap generator is likely experiencing inconsistencies due to its free tier limitations or a lack of robust server-side automation for submission, which can lead to indexing issues.
- Verify the generator's internal settings for update frequency and ensure your `robots.txt` correctly points to the sitemap.
- For more reliable search engine visibility, consider directly submitting the sitemap via Google Search Console after manual generation.

Answered 1 week agoYeah, we actually already go through Google Search Console for direct submissions when things are really off, so that part isn't the main hurdle. The issue is more about the free generator itself consistently failing to update its internal site index before we even get to the submission step, even with correct robots.txt and settings.
