Sitemap

How to view your sitemap

A sitemap is an XML file that tells search engines which pages on your website are important, helping crawlers index your content more efficiently.

Websites created with Wegic come with a built-in sitemap file.

You can enter the following URL in your browser to view your website's sitemap file.

How to submit your sitemap to Google

Although Wegic-generated websites come with a built-in sitemap, you still need to submit it to Google Search Console to ensure efficient indexing by Google.

Google may find and index your site through links from other websites, but verifying ownership, submitting your sitemap, and manually requesting indexing can speed up the process.

How to submit your sitemap:

To submit your sitemap:

1. Open Google Search Console

2. Choose the property (website) you want to submit the sitemap for

3. Type sitemap.xml into the input field

4. Click Submit

You can enter the following URL in your browser to view your website's robot.txt file.
