The Sitemap issue page means this page was discovered during the crawl, but it was not present in the sitemap captured for this scan.
This is a page-level issue. It focuses on one page that exists in the crawl but appears to be missing from the sitemap.
What this issue means
Siteimp found this page by following links or crawl discovery paths.
When Siteimp compared the crawl results with the sitemap data for the same scan, this page was not listed in the sitemap.
That makes the page crawl-only in this snapshot.
Why it matters
This finding is intentionally blunt.
If this page should be machine-visible and part of the site’s published surface, it should usually appear in the sitemap as well.
A missing sitemap entry can mean:
- the sitemap generator missed the page
- the page is linked but not meant to be indexed
- the page is new and the sitemap is stale
- the page exists through navigation but not through the official site map
- the sitemap and crawl structure disagree
What to check next
Decide whether this page should be part of the public, machine-visible site.
If yes, update the sitemap or sitemap generation rules.
If no, check whether the page should be linked from crawled pages.
If the page is intentionally excluded, this issue may be acceptable.
If the sitemap is stale, regenerate it and run another scan.
Signal vs issue
At scan level, Siteimp can show a crawl-only sitemap signal when one or more crawled pages are missing from the sitemap.
This page is the issue view. It is about one specific page with that sitemap mismatch.
Why this issue may be empty
The Sitemap issue page usually appears only when this specific page has a crawl-only sitemap mismatch.
If there is no sitemap issue for the page, it may mean the page appeared in the sitemap, or there was no page-level sitemap mismatch recorded for this snapshot.
