XML Sitemap Issues

    Hey RankMath,

    My name is Derek Wong and I’m the Product Manager for ONE Esports. We are a premium member of RankmathPro.

    We have observed that turning on XML Sitemaps is negatively impacting our website. Available CPU usage drops to just 10-20% when it is enabled.

    As a result, we’ve had to disable XML sitemaps for our highest-traffic site domains.

    We are very concerned as this is impacting our SEO score. Do you have any guidance or documentation on how we can fix this issue?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    The sitemap from our plugin is dynamically generated each time the page is accessed and doesn’t consist of any physical files.

    Because of that, if your website is very large it can consume some server resources each time the page is accessed, either by a Search Engine bot or any other person.

    This will not impact your SEO score because the actual website pages should load fast and the sitemap is only used to tell Search Engines what pages they should crawl from your website.​​​​​

    Hope this helps clarify your doubts.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

    Thank you – this is very helpful!
