Basic sitemap settings

The minimum details for any sitemap is the website title and website address beginning with http:// or https://

On this screen you can set the defaults for the key sitemap properties which can then be changed individually within the editor.

The core elements of an XML Sitemap are :

• Web page address
• Last modified date
• Update frequency
• Relative priority

These provide hints to search engines about your pages, when and how often they are updated and the relative importance within your website.

For example your home page might be updated weekly and be much more important than your about us page which may only be updated yearly.
