Difficulty Creating A Sitemap...

[Todd24]

Hello!

Is it unusual for Sitemap Generator to take over 24 hours to generate a map? This is a recent development. Originally, the maps would generate in less than fifteen mins. Why would this be happening?

Thanks!

Hello,

The crawling time itself depends on the website page generation time mainly, since it crawls the site similar to search engine bots.
For instance, if it it takes 1 second to retrieve every page, then 1000 pages will be crawled in about 16 minutes.
