What to fix first

1. Remove broken or redirected entries

A sitemap should primarily contain canonical 200 URLs. Broken or redirected entries create immediate quality problems.

2. Eliminate duplicate URLs

Duplicate entries often point to generation errors or overlapping child sitemaps that should be cleaned up.

3. Confirm important pages are included

If the homepage or other key templates are missing, review how the sitemap is generated before relying on it for discovery.
