How to use sitemap page count history

Sitemap page count history helps you spot indexing-impacting changes quickly, both site-wide and for each individual sitemap file.

  1. Open your website project and go to Sitemaps.
  2. Click Page count history.
  3. Review the daily table:
    • Total pages shows the full number of URLs across all sitemaps for that day.
    • Sitemaps shows how many sitemap files were detected.
    • By sitemap shows URL count per sitemap file.
    • Change shows day-over-day growth or decline.
  4. Use sudden drops to catch sitemap generation bugs, blocked sections, or accidental removals before they affect visibility.
