Sitemap management
IndexCheckr allows you to manage XML sitemaps linked to your projects, including standard sitemaps and sitemap indexes (sitemaps of sitemaps). This makes it easy to monitor large or frequently updated websites without manual imports.
When you import pages from a sitemap, IndexCheckr keeps a record of each sitemap linked to your project. These sitemaps are periodically rechecked based on your selected import frequency, and any new pages are automatically added and checked.
You can manage your sitemaps from the Projects Overview. The Sitemaps column shows the number of sitemaps associated with each project. Clicking this number opens the sitemap management view.
Sitemap types and depth support
IndexCheckr supports:
Standard XML sitemaps, which contain URLs directly
Sitemap indexes (sitemaps of sitemaps), with support for up to three levels of nesting
If a sitemap references other sitemaps, those referenced sitemaps are crawled automatically.
Sitemap information
For each sitemap, the following information is displayed:
Sitemap URL
Import period: how often IndexCheckr fetches and processes the sitemap (Daily, Weekly, Biweekly, Monthly)
Pages recheck period: the frequency applied to new pages imported from that sitemap
Tags on imported pages
If you entered tags when adding the sitemap, they are applied to the pages imported at that time and to every new page found in the sitemap later. This makes it easy to follow, for example, all the pages coming from your blog sitemap. See Organizing pages with tags.
Import behavior and credits
If the total number of pages exceeds your available credits, IndexCheckr performs a partial import. Pages are added until your credits are exhausted, and the remaining URLs are skipped.
You can:
Change the import frequency at any time
Delete a sitemap to stop importing new URLs from it. Pages already imported stay in the project
If a sitemap can’t be fetched when you add it, IndexCheckr tells you why (for example, when the site blocks our requests). See Adding pages for the list of messages and what to do.
This system allows you to automate monitoring of large or frequently updated websites, keeping your project up to date without manual imports.
