Sitemap Coverage
Sitemap coverage describes whether the important indexable URLs of a website are included in the intended sitemap.
What it means
Coverage also checks whether low-value, private, redirected, Noindex or duplicate URLs are excluded from sitemap output.
Why it matters
It matters because sitemaps should help search engines discover the right pages.
Example
A sitemap should include important service and category pages while excluding cart, checkout, search and duplicate filter URLs.
Common mistakes
Do not treat a large sitemap as automatically better. Accuracy matters more than volume.
