Sitemap Domain

Checks that all sitemap URLs belong to the expected domain


Rule ID	`crawl/sitemap-domain`
Category	Crawlability
Scope	Site-wide
Severity	error
Weight	8/10

Solution

All URLs in your sitemap should point to pages on your own domain. Cross-domain URLs in sitemaps are a configuration error - search engines will ignore URLs that don’t match the sitemap’s domain. Remove external URLs from your sitemap or fix the domain in URLs if they’re incorrectly formatted.
