XML Sitemap Generator Not Reading Past First Page
Troubleshoot sitemap runs that stop at the first page, skip deeper URLs, or fail after the home page in the legacy AuditMyPC tool.
Focused legacy troubleshooting archive
Hub page
Legacy support hub for the AuditMyPC XML Sitemap Generator, including crawl limits, Java errors, odd exports, and duplicate URL problems.
The XML Sitemap Generator archive is the strongest part of the site. The recurring problems were not broad SEO theory. They were very specific failures: crawls stopping after the home page, Java memory limits, export files that looked wrong, and duplicate URLs that confused both the tool and search engines.
This hub collects the pages that still help people diagnose crawl scope, canonical host issues, redirect behavior, and export format mistakes. It does not pretend the original Java-based workflow is current in every detail.
Start with these archive guides: XML Sitemap Generator Not Reading Past First Page, Sitemap Generator Java Memory Error, XML Sitemap Strange Characters in HTML Sitemap, Google Sitemap Restrictions for Large Sites, and Duplicate Title Tags and Sitemap Crawling.

Troubleshoot garbled characters, encoding issues, and odd text output in generated HTML sitemaps from the legacy AuditMyPC tool.

Many of these threads came from the early Google Sitemaps period, when users were working with browser-based Java tools and older submission rules. That dates some of the instructions, especially browser and runtime setup steps.
What still holds up is the troubleshooting logic: start with one canonical hostname, reduce duplicate URL patterns, check whether the crawl is failing locally or on the site itself, and separate export-format problems from crawl problems.
