Issues Found

1. 54 Duplicate URLs Across Sitemaps (Medium Priority)

54 URLs appear in more than one sitemap. While video-sitemap overlap with page-sitemap is expected behavior from RankMath (pages with embedded video get listed in both), there are cross-type duplicates that should be reviewed:

Post + Page overlap (should be one or the other):

• /louisville-car-accident-lawyers/ is in both post-sitemap AND page-sitemap. This is a key money page and should only be in page-sitemap.

Post + Video overlap (3 URLs):

• /amazon-delivery-vehicle-accidents/
• /sam-aguiar-discussing-injury-case-strategy-raw-interview/
• /truck-talk-understanding-truck-driver-hours-of-service-regulations/

Page + Video overlap (49 URLs): All Truck Talk pages and a handful of location/about pages. This is normal RankMath behavior for pages with embedded video and is not a problem.

Recommendation: Check if /louisville-car-accident-lawyers/ is registered as both a post and a page in WordPress. It should be a page only.

2. Missing Page: /practice-areas/motorcycle-accidents/ (Medium Priority)

The URL https://aguiarinjurylawyers.com/practice-areas/motorcycle-accidents/ returns a 200 status but is NOT in any sitemap. This is a core practice area page and should be indexed.

Recommendation: Check if this page is set to "noindex" in RankMath settings. If so, remove the noindex directive so RankMath includes it in the sitemap automatically.

3. Video Sitemap Missing All lastmod Dates (Low Priority)

All 53 entries in video-sitemap.xml have no lastmod tag. The other three sitemaps all include lastmod dates. Missing lastmod means search engines cannot tell when video content was updated.
