As soon as you change something in your sitemap, be that the URL element or last mod, the sitemap will be parsed again and generally reprocessed. That doesn’t mean that the URLs will be surely crawled of course they are still subject to the quality evaluations like any other URL. It’s also worth to mention that if you remove a URL from the sitemap because perhaps it doesn’t exist anymore that doesn’t mean it’s automatically going to be dropped from the index or even prioritized for crawling so it can be dropped sooner.” 4. XML sitemaps can get your new content indexed quicker your XML sitemap is updated can help get your new content indexed quicker.
He shared: “Pinging a sitemap is a bit different than just providing it in the robots.txt — by pinging, you’re actively flagging a change in the sitemap file.

Keep the file size under 50 MB (uncompressed) or 50,000 URLs There are size limits to your XML sitemaps. Keep it under 50,000 URLs per sitemap or 50 MB (uncompressed). If you have a larger file size or more URLs, use multiple XML sitemaps. 7.
You can have multiple XML sitemaps Google lets you submit multiple sitemaps. Splitting up your sitemaps into different sections of your website to measure performance can be useful. For example, if you’re a large ecommerce website, you can segment your XML sitemaps by product type (i.e., women’s shoes vs. men’s shoes). Or, if you have multiple languages, you may want an hreflang related to your <loc> XML sitemap. If you have alternate languages, it does not count toward the 50,000 URL max. Or, if you have a lot of videos or images, you could separate your XML sitemaps into a video XML sitemap and an image XML sitemap. There is no rank benefit to having multiple XML sitemaps.
