Super automatically generates your sitemap using pages that are published, publicly accessible, and allowed to be indexed. The sitemap helps search engines like Google discover and crawl your content.

If a page is missing from the sitemap, it usually means that the page does not meet one or more of Super’s sitemap inclusion requirements. This is often related to visibility, indexing settings, or recent changes that haven’t fully synced yet.

Common reasons pages are missing

1. Page indexing is disabled

If indexing is turned off in Super settings, the page will be excluded from the sitemap to prevent search engines from crawling it. Make sure it is enabled.

2. Page is not shared publicly in Notion

Only pages that are publicly shared in Notion can be included. Private pages or pages restricted to certain users won’t appear in the sitemap.

3. Page is unpublished or excluded

Pages that are unpublished, hidden, or intentionally excluded from navigation may also be excluded from the sitemap, depending on your site configuration.

4. Recent changes haven’t synced yet

After changing visibility, indexing, or publishing settings, Super needs time to regenerate the sitemap. Immediate updates are not always reflected right away.

How to fix it

  1. Ensure the page is public in Notion
    Open the Notion page and confirm it’s shared publicly.

  2. Confirm indexing is enabled in Super
    Check your page-level and site-level indexing settings to ensure the page is allowed to be indexed.

  3. Republish your site
    Republishing forces Super to re-sync your content and regenerate the sitemap.

  4. Wait for sitemap regeneration
    Sitemap updates are not instant. Allow some time after republishing before checking again. The fastest way is to visit your sitemap URL is by typing this to your browser:

     https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml

Best practice

Only include pages in your sitemap that you actually want search engines to index. Keep private, draft, or low-value pages excluded to maintain a clean and high-quality sitemap that improves crawl efficiency and SEO performance.
