Sitemap-only observation A

A control page for measuring whether a crawler discovers a canonical URL from the XML sitemap without an inbound HTML link.

Why this page exists

This canonical page is intentionally absent from every HTML link graph and from IndexNow submissions. Its only advertised discovery route is the root XML sitemap.

What a request means

A request is evidence that the URL was fetched. When it follows a sitemap request in the same heuristic crawler session, it supports—but does not prove—a sitemap discovery path.
