Counts by class
Rule: total = Keep + Error + Redirect + Noindex + Non canonical.
| Class | Rows | Count |
|---|---|---|
| Keep | U1, U2, U4, U7, U10, U12 | 6 |
| Error | U5, U11 | 2 |
| Redirect | U3, U9 | 2 |
| Noindex | U8 | 1 |
| Non canonical | U6 | 1 |
6 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 12, which equals the 12 URL rows you sent.
Remove or replace list
- Remove U3, U5, U6, U8 and U9. No replacement needs adding, because each redirect or canonical target (U4, U7, U10) is already in the file as a 200, self canonical, indexable URL.
- U11 (500 server error): ask the developer whether /packs/trail-40 is a live product. If yes, fix the error and keep it; if no, remove it.
- U8 (/stoves/flint, noindex): remove it from the sitemap unless the noindex is a mistake. Tell me which.
- Protocol: U9 is the only http URL. Your preferred form is https with www; every other row already uses it.
File checks
| Check | Measured | Limit | Result |

lastmod: Google ignores priority and changefreq and uses lastmod only when it is consistently and verifiably accurate. Every row shows 2026-10-01. Against the edits you know of: - U1 alpine-2: lastmod 2026-10-01, real change 2026-06-12. Mismatch: lastmod is later than the real change. - U12 trail-30: lastmod 2026-10-01, real change 2026-10-01. Match. - Other 10 rows: lastmod not checked (no real dates given). One date on every row suggests the generator stamps a build date; please confirm.
Method notes
- Classes come only from the status, canonical and robots values in your crawl. I have no Search Console data, so this report says nothing about which URLs are indexed.
- Character count for the loc check was measured by script on the longest URL.
- No priority or changefreq values are recommended.
Needs your decision
- Approve the removals (U3, U5, U6, U8, U9) before the sitemap generator is changed.
- Decide U8 (keep noindex or not) and U11 (live product or not).
- Confirm before the sitemap is resubmitted in Search Console.
