#Sitemaps
LintLab's audit of 1,000 top sites found just 6.6% serve a valid llms.txt file — echoing Ahrefs' August finding that 97% of those files go unread by AI crawlers anyway.

Via PPC Land.

#AEO #llmstxt
LintLab: sitemap errors common, llms.txt still rare
A third independent dataset — after Ahrefs and Common Crawl — shows llms.txt adoption still stuck in single digits, while the more basic problem of broken sitemaps remains unsolved across most of the open web.

Même les grands sites se trompent sur leurs sitemaps XML
Des sitemaps censés guider les moteurs contiennent pourtant des URL en erreur, redirigées, noindex ou déclarées non canoniques. Joost de Valk a contrôlé six sites connus et relevé des incohérences parfois massives entre leurs fichiers XML et les pages listées.

🟠 Shopware-Mythos: Ein SEO-Plugin übernimmt die Suchmaschinenoptimierung

Ein Plugin kann technische Aufgaben erleichtern.

Es kann beispielsweise zusätzliche Felder, Sitemaps oder strukturierte Daten bereitstellen.

Es entscheidet aber nicht:

XML sitemaps should contain all canonical urls and each url should contain an accurate lastmod date. I'm with Joost de Valk, many sites get this wrong. Back in the day I called them "dirty sitemaps". Now I just make sure clients understand what should be in those sitemaps and what should be left out

I built a Chrome extension to keep XML sitemaps readable. It turned into a bug finder.

Adobe: canonicals pointing at a __template__ page.
Man City: ex-players' pages that 404.

X: robots.txt links to a sitemap that isn't there.

Semrush: nested indexes.
