Max URLs in XML Sitemaps and XML Sitemap Index File
XML Sitemaps Protocol defines each XML sitemap file to maximum have 50.000 URLs. However, TechSEO360 can split and create multiple XML sitemaps combined with an XML sitemap index file.
URL Limits in XML Sitemap Files
The XML Sitemaps Protocol limits each XML sitemap file to maximum 50.000 urls. However, it is possible
to create multiple XML sitemap files, and link them with an XML sitemap index file.

TechSEO360 defaults to a limit of only 25.000 URLs per XML sitemap file, but this number can be configured in option Create sitemap | XML sitemap options | Sitemap file options:
