No sitemap.xml: how to add one so Google finds your pages

Polish · Polish · vibeliq reports this as “No sitemap: search engines have to guess your pages”

Why it matters

A sitemap is a list of your pages for search engines. New sites with few links get found much faster with one.

How to check it yourself

Visit yoursite.com/sitemap.xml. If nothing's there and robots.txt doesn't list one, search engines have to discover your pages by following links.

What the fix involves

Generate a sitemap from your routes, using your framework's built-in support where it exists, and reference it from robots.txt.

How vibeliq checks it

We load your page the way a visitor's browser would, read what your server sends back, and look at a short list of well-known addresses on your site. If this turns up, your report explains it in plain English and gives you a prompt, written for Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable or whatever built your site, that fixes it in your actual codebase.
