Hi Ed,

this is normal because online SEO validator are only able to check existance of a static file for the sitemap in the root of the server named sitemap.xml.

This is a deprecated solution that leads to manually edit the sitemap file everytime there is a change. Using solution suc as JSitemap the sitemap is dynamically generated in realtime using the component link and is submitted to search engines through the robots.txt.

The only thing you need to ensure is that the sitemap entry is present in your robots.txt.

Kind regards

John
