Sitemapper

Critical

No accessible XML sitemap

No sitemap could be loaded from robots.txt or common fallback paths.

Why it matters

Without a sitemap, crawlers rely only on links. Large or JS-heavy sites often under-discover URLs.

Example

robots.txt has no Sitemap: line and /sitemap.xml 404s.

How Sitemapper detects it

Discovery tries robots.txt Sitemap directives, then common paths including sitemap_index.xml and wp-sitemap.xml.

Verify it yourself

Open /robots.txt and try /sitemap.xml in a browser.

Practical fix

Publish an XML sitemap (or sitemap index) and reference it from robots.txt.
