You will need to reanalyze your CY Lists sitemap for any error that is undetected. The most common crawl issue errors are: Robots.txt blocking crawlers Error pages other than 404, such as “403” forbidden and 401 Javascript or CSS blocked by search engines You can address these crawl issues with the 11 steps I outlined earlier.

However, if you have (for example) an eCommerce website that’s growing fast, it’s best that you create separate sitemaps for every 10,000 URLs you have. Fewer URLs mean fewer crawl issues for you.
