Checks for indexable pages that are not in the sitemap

| | |
|---|---|
| **Rule ID** | `crawl/sitemap-coverage` |
| **Category** | [Crawlability](/rules/crawl) |
| **Scope** | Site-wide |
| **Severity** | warning |
| **Weight** | 5/10 |

## Solution

Your sitemap should include all pages you want search engines to index. Pages that are crawlable and indexable (no noindex, not blocked by robots.txt) should generally be in your sitemap. Missing pages may not be discovered or indexed efficiently. Use a sitemap generator that automatically includes all indexable pages, or manually add important pages.
