TL;DR

Overall sitemap health is good. Hygiene is clean. Two real issues to fix and a small list of housekeeping items.

Must fix (3):

  1. /resources/videos/ is in the sitemap but returns 404. Either restore the page or remove it from the sitemap.
  2. Two URLs in the sitemap redirect instead of returning 200. Sitemaps should only contain final, canonical URLs.
  3. One URL appears in BOTH page-sitemap.xml and post-sitemap.xml (/louisville-car-accident-lawyers/). Pick one post type.

Should consider (3):

  1. /case-results/ and /practice-areas/premises-liability/wildfire-accidents/ exist in WordPress as published pages but are excluded from the sitemap. Confirm if intentional.
  2. /category/workers-compensation/ is in the sitemap but the firm does not handle workers' comp. Reconsider keeping that taxonomy archive indexed.
  3. The Gardasil mass tort post (/understanding-the-gardasil-lawsuits/) is published but excluded from sitemap. Mass torts is not a practice area; consider unpublishing or noindex.

Sitemap Structure

Sub-sitemap Entries Status
post-sitemap.xml 205 200
page-sitemap.xml 314 200
category-sitemap.xml 17 200
video-sitemap.xml 51 200
Total entries 587
Unique URLs 535

robots.txt correctly references Sitemap: <https://aguiarinjurylawyers.com/sitemap_index.xml>. Bot allowlist for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google, Bing, Apple, Meta, etc. is in place and properly scoped.

URL Hygiene (Clean Pass)

All 535 unique URLs were evaluated for these structural defects. Every check returned zero hits: HTTP (non-HTTPS) URLs 0, non-canonical hosts 0, query strings 0, fragments 0, uppercase URLs 0, trailing slash inconsistencies 0, duplicate slashes 0. Excellent. RankMath and the Cloudways stack are producing clean canonical output.
