Publication and automatically managed page selection
Compare the current sitemap with effective indexing settings and canonical overrides. Check the published status again after a change.
Check the public sitemap and the status of the respective static or dynamic page. Different canonicals and excluded pages can affect the selection; the XML file is not maintained manually as on own hosting.
Where to check the setting in Wix
Open the sitemap index of your published domain and the appropriate partial sitemap. Compare publishing, indexing setting, and canonical of the page. For dynamic pages, the respective collection item must also be accessible.
Example of this specific finding
Illustrative control case: An internal search page with conscious noindex is recorded by the sitemap generator. Sitemap selection and indexing intent do not match.
Sitemap: https://example.org/suche/?q=rad
HTML: <meta name="robots" content="noindex">
Entscheidung: interne Suche bleibt ausgeschlossen → nicht in die Sitemap aufnehmen.follow-up audit in Wix
Compare an affected collection item and a normal page. Publish changes and then retrieve the actual sitemap entries.
If consciously excluded, permanently remove the URL from the generator selection. If noindex is accidental, correct the page default and retrieve both outputs.
Derogations and scope
Remove Noindex not only to pass the sitemap check. For user functions, the exclusion may be correct.
Reference: published Wix/Wix Studio websites. SEO settings differ by static page, dynamic page type and installed app; do not require a freely managed server configuration.
