Webmasters Asked by Kannaj on November 3, 2021
Im trying to include an auto-generated sitemap.xml file whenever we build our frontend application.
Unfortunately due to legacy reasons, we use the same frontend build script on our production and staging servers.
As a result , this sitemap.xml with domain as w.x.com will also reside on our w.staging.x.com server
There will be only one correct sitemap.xml file with hostname w.x.com residing on our w.x.com server – but there will be a duplicate XML in staging
Is this ok or will it affect SEO/Crawlers etc
This is not okay and it probably will affect your SEO.
Staging should not be indexed. This is because of duplicate content and crawling budget reasons.
You should only index your live version and show only live version pages within your sitemap.
