Eric Mattson1 Posted September 25 Posted September 25 Hello -- My auto-generated-by-Invision site map (crawled by Google Search Console yesterday) is claiming to have 34,554 pages on it. Yet my site is running at 17,752 blogs + 49,025 posts = 66,777 potential pages that should be on that site map unless I'm missing something. Any idea what is causing the difference? Thanks, Eric
Jim M Posted September 25 Posted September 25 Posts aren't pages. They are a part of a topic which is 1 page.

Thanks, Eric Hi, Just curious, did you have an underlying reason for running this exercise? Like, who cares if Google crawls 50,000 pages or 100,000 pages or 2,000 pages. If your goal is to ensure that Google has maximum visibility to the appropriate areas, there are easier methods to accomplish your goal. 1. Log out and as a guest, browse your community. What guests see is what Google sees. 2. Audit your guest permissions for each of your categories and apps. Both of these methods will be much easier than trying to mathematically match the number of expected pages vs crawled pages! SeNioR- 1
Eric Mattson1 Posted September 25 Author Posted September 25 @Jim M Sorry for my inexact language here. A blog "post" or "entry" is a page. And I have 50k of them but the site map doesn't reflect that. Any ideas? @Joel R The site map being accurate would encourage Google to crawl my full site sooner and better.

It could be as simple as Google hasn't crawled all available pages in your sitemap yet. Without an exact example of stating this blog post is not available in your sitemap, it is hard for us to say otherwise.
