When convenient

Your site has no sitemap

This is the exact wording EverThread uses when it finds this on a customer's site, written for someone who runs a business, not a server. The example site here is yourbakery.com.

What we saw

We could not find sitemap.xml.

Why it matters

Not a security issue. Search engines find and refresh your pages faster with one.

How to fix it

Most website platforms can generate a sitemap with one setting. Ask your developer to turn it on.

For your developer

GET /sitemap.xml returned 404. Generate one and reference it from robots.txt.
