Product avatar
Shared by Product • July 23, 2025

Hey there,

We’ve just shipped Sitemap Scanning—a powerful enhancement that helps audits find up to 4x more pages by leveraging your site’s existing robots.txt or sitemap files.

Key Highlights:

  • Detects sitemaps via robots.txt or allows you to enter one manually
  • Supports large sitemaps (up to 50MB or 50,000 URLs)
  • Pages found in sitemaps are fully audited and appear in results
  • Works with RSS/Atom feeds too

On by default, see your latest Audit for insights.
