Shopify Sitemap not up-to-date

Online Store and Theme Development
1

Hi Shopify,

I’ve noticed that the XML is very inconsistent. I would propose a couple of enhancements:

  1. Add time. SearchEngines really would like to have this for faster indexing. Right know I see product indexing latest updated from 2 days ago.
  2. Remove deprecated fields like: <image:caption> and <image:title>. See Image Sitemaps | Google Search Central  |  Documentation  |  Google for Developers
  3. Randome products don’t have a <image:image>. I can’t find the reason why.

Hey @AdminGh

The three enhancements you’ve proposed make sense from a search engine optimization perspective.

I’ve shared this feedback with our product teams as these sound like useful additions to our sitemaps that would benefit merchants’ SEO performance across the platform. :memo:
