Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math for advice on HTML sitemap size limits.
There is no size limit for HTML sitemaps. As long as your page loads normally, your HTML sitemap size is completely fine as a standalone page. However, such a large sitemap might not be good to add to the footer of your website as it would dilute the content on each of your pages and make it difficult for search engines to analyze. It would also add reduce the performance of your website if it’s being loaded on every page.
Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have questions.
Hi Nigel,
Thanks for the reply!
I deleted the sitemap from the footer.
Best regards,
Sander
