Sitemap Has Stale Lastmod Dates
What This Means
The sitemap contains lastmod dates that are very old (over 1 year). This may indicate the sitemap is not being maintained or the dates are not accurate.
What Triggers This Issue
This issue is triggered when sitemap URL entries have lastmod dates older than 1 year from the current date.
How To Fix
Update your sitemap generation process to reflect accurate modification dates. If pages haven’t been updated in over a year, consider whether they need refreshing. Remove lastmod if you cannot maintain accurate dates.
