SITEMAP FAQ

Website Sitemap Questions Answered

  • What is the ServersNest HTML sitemap?
    The HTML sitemap is a visitor-friendly list of published website pages. It provides another route to important services, guides and contact information.
  • What is an XML sitemap?
    An XML sitemap is a machine-readable list of preferred URLs that helps search engines discover pages. It does not replace useful internal links or guarantee indexing.
  • Where can I find the ServersNest XML sitemap?
    The machine-readable sitemap is available at https://serversnest.com/sitemap.xml and is also referenced from robots.txt.
  • Does submitting a sitemap guarantee that every page is indexed?
    No. Search engines still evaluate crawl access, canonical URLs, page quality, duplication and other signals before choosing whether to index a URL.
  • Which pages appear in the HTML sitemap?
    The list is generated from published WordPress pages. Draft, private and deleted pages are not intended to appear in the public list.
  • How often is the XML sitemap updated?
    WordPress generates the sitemap from current public content, so published and removed pages are reflected without maintaining a separate static file.
  • Is robots.txt the same as an XML sitemap?
    No. Robots.txt provides crawler directives and may reference the sitemap location, while the XML sitemap lists URLs intended for discovery.
  • What should I do if a sitemap link is incorrect?
    Use the contact page to report the page and incorrect destination. Site administrators can then review the published page and its permalink.
