크기 제한을 초과하는 사이트맵이 있는 경우 각 새 사이트맵이 크기 제한 미만이 되도록 대규모 사이트맵을 여러 개의 사이트맵으로 분할해야 합니다. 사이트맵을 분할한 후 사이트맵 색인 파일을 사용하여 한 번에 여러 사이트맵을 제출할 수 있습니다.
사이트맵 색인 권장사항
사이트맵 색인 파일의 XML 형식은 사이트맵 파일의 XML 형식과 매우 비슷하며 사이트맵 프로토콜로 정의됩니다.
즉, 모든 사이트맵 요구사항이 사이트맵 색인 파일에도 적용됩니다.
참조된 사이트맵은 사이트맵 색인 파일과 동일한 사이트에서 호스팅되어야 합니다. 크로스 사이트 제출을 설정하면 이 요구사항이 면제됩니다.
사이트맵 색인 파일에서 참조되는 사이트맵은 사이트맵 색인 파일과 동일한 디렉터리에 있거나 사이트 계층 구조에서 더 낮은 위치에 있어야 합니다. 예를 들어 사이트맵 색인 파일이 https://example.com/public/sitemap_index.xml에 있다면 동일하거나 더 하위 디렉터리(예: https://example.com/public/shared/...)에 있는 사이트맵만 포함할 수 있습니다.
Search Console 계정에서 사이트맵 색인 파일을 사이트당 500개까지 제출할 수 있습니다.

Once you've split up your sitemap, you can use a sitemap index file\nas a way to submit many sitemaps at once.\n\nSitemap index best practices\n----------------------------\n\n\nThe XML format of a sitemap index file is very\nsimilar to the XML format of a sitemap file, and it's defined by the\n[Sitemap Protocol](https://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html#index).\nThis means that all the sitemap requirements apply to sitemap index files also.\n\n\nThe referenced sitemaps must be hosted on the same site as your sitemap index file. This\nrequirement is waived if you set up\n[cross-site submission](/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/build-sitemap#cross-submit).\n\n\nSitemaps that are referenced in the sitemap index file must be in the same\ndirectory as the sitemap index file, or lower in the site hierarchy. For example, if the\nsitemap index file is at `https://example.com/public/sitemap_index.xml`, it can\nonly contain sitemaps that are in the same or deeper directory, like\n`https://example.com/public/shared/...`.\n\n\nYou can submit up to 500 sitemap index files for each site in your Search Console account.\n\nExample sitemap index\n---------------------\n\n\nThe following example shows a sitemap index in XML format that lists two sitemaps: \n\n```world-of-warcraft-toc\n\u003c?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?\u003e\n\u003csitemapindex xmlns=\"http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9\"\u003e\n \u003csitemap\u003e\n \u003cloc\u003ehttps://www.example.com/sitemap1.xml.gz\u003c/loc\u003e\n \u003clastmod\u003e2024-08-15\u003c/lastmod\u003e\n \u003c/sitemap\u003e\n \u003csitemap\u003e\n \u003cloc\u003ehttps://www.example.com/sitemap2.xml.gz\u003c/loc\u003e\n \u003clastmod\u003e2022-06-05\u003c/lastmod\u003e\n \u003c/sitemap\u003e\n\u003c/sitemapindex\u003e\n```\n\nSitemap index reference\n-----------------------\n\n\nThe sitemap index tags are defined by the same namespace as generic sitemaps:\n[`http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9`](http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9)\n\nTo make sure Google can use your sitemap index, you must use the following required tags:\n\n| Required tags ||\n|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `sitemapindex` | The root tag of the XML tree. It contains all the other tags. |\n| `sitemap` | The parent tag for each sitemap listed in the file. It's the only direct child of the `sitemapindex` tag. |\n| `loc` | The location (URL) of the sitemap. It's a child of the `sitemap` tag. A sitemap index file may have up to 50,000 `loc` tags. |\n\n\nAdditionally, the following optional tags may help Google schedule your sitemaps for crawling:\n\n| Optional tags ||\n|-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `lastmod` | Identifies the time that the corresponding sitemap file was modified. It can be a child of a `sitemap` tag. The value for the `lastmod` tag must be in [W3C Datetime format](https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime). |\n\nAdditional resources\n--------------------\n\n\nWant to learn more?
