Your videos are the best! I am very new to building a website but you are helping us so much. I have a question, Should I do the sitemap creation now in the beginning of my build or wait until I am done? thanks

The sitemaps are generated on the fly when you enable the module on your new website, so you don't need to create that manually. Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.

Hello, Thank you for your comment. There is an advantage in indexing these pages as long as you don't have identical posts and content. In the vast majority of your categories and tags (with a small number of products in many), they can help you rank for a wide range of buyer intent search terms. Tags should be indexed if a store has more than 100 products; otherwise, indexing categories should adequate for most stores to avoid a thin content penalty from Google. Hope this helps.
Hello, Thank you for your comment. Including a huge number of posts in a single sitemap will require more server resources for the sitemap to load. Earlier, the default value for this setting was 1000. But, we’ve observed that Google responds better to smaller pages in sitemaps. Thus, we’ve reduced the value to 200, which is our recommended setting. Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
