# Include indexable pages in your sitemap

Pages absent from the sitemap rely entirely on crawl discovery via links, which can delay indexing of new content, especially on large sites or pages with few inbound links.

## Quick Reference

- Every canonical-url, indexable page should appear in the sitemap
- Pages with `noindex` or non-self canonical tags must NOT be included in the sitemap
- Paginated pages, filtered variants, and faceted URLs are usually excluded unless they have unique content
- Use Google Search Console Coverage report to find indexable pages not in the sitemap

## Check

Compare the list of all canonical-url, indexable URLs on the site against the URLs in the XML sitemap. Flag any page that returns HTTP 200, has no `noindex` directive, has a self-referencing canonical, but is absent from the sitemap.
