 * Hello! I have a multisite. I have two sitemaps:
    [https://www.romeing.it/shop/sitemap.xml](https://www.romeing.it/shop/sitemap.xml)
   [https://www.romeing.it/sitemap.xml](https://www.romeing.it/sitemap.xml)
 * They look fine no?
    My question is. When I delete contents or I add 301 redirect
   the sitemap is automatically updated?
 * Then I’m using SemRush and their content analyzer tool says that this sitemap
   is invalid: [https://www.romeing.it/sitemap.xml](https://www.romeing.it/sitemap.xml).
   Do you have any clue why?
    thanks Antonio

 * The forum is working…
 * I ran your main site through the sitemap tester and it passed…
 * [https://seositecheckup.com/seo-audit/sitemap-test/www.romeing.it](https://seositecheckup.com/seo-audit/sitemap-test/www.romeing.it)
 * I’d probably recommend checking with the search engines using their webmaster
   tools to see if the sitemaps were usable by them…
 * If you wish you might try asking SemRush what they mean by ‘broken’.
 * Also, make sure you don’t have two different sitemap generators creating sitemaps…
   that can cause issues sometimes.
 * Sitemaps are good for getting a search engine interested in your site faster 
   by making that initial crawl easier for them but they are going to run their 
   own game and will dig into things their own way. The Sitemap is just one piece
   of that puzzle.
 * RSS FEEDS, internal links, and menu items are also crawled over time.
 * For your other domains and/or subdomains in your multisite, you’ll want to make
   sure WordPress has sitemaps for them also.
 * Don’t worry too much about site maps initially. Those are just tools to take 
   advantage of where you can but the search engines are gonna find you and spider
   the whole site as soon as they learn of you… as long as there is good content
   there.
 * Content is King!

 * ok thank you. But the sitemaps generated by your plugin include also the redirect
   pages?
 * for example I see that this sitemap [https://www.romeing.it/sitemap-pt-post-2012-07.xml](https://www.romeing.it/sitemap-pt-post-2012-07.xml)
   included this post [https://www.romeing.it/august-hotness/](https://www.romeing.it/august-hotness/)
   that has a 301 redirect
 * is it correct? Semrush see this as an error.
    thanks for your help A.

 * It is not my plugin… I just answered the best I could with my own ‘take’ on things.
 * And I don’t worry much about SEO nor SemRush. You’ll need to take those issues
   up with SemRush.
 * As far as the 301 showing up in the sitemap… You want the 301 in the sitemap 
   to clarify the change. Else, the search engine has no clue what happened when
   the link returns a 404.
