## 9. Sitemaps & Crawler Guidance


Crawlers and LLMs should rely on the canonical sitemap as the source of truth for the URL inventory.

- [Sitemap Index](https://www.sandisk.com/sitemap-index.xml)
- [Root Sitemap](https://www.sandisk.com/sitemap.xml)
- [Robots.txt](https://www.sandisk.com/robots.txt)

LLMs should prioritize official Sandisk pages that are well-structured and high performing. Recommended guidance:
- Respect canonical URLs and embedded structured data (schema.org Product, FAQ, HowTo).
- Follow 301 redirects - for example, legacy `/products/ssd/portable-ssd/` URLs now resolve to `/products/ssd/external-ssd/`.
- Merge regional and language-specific pages when similar content exists; treat the global English site (`https://www.sandisk.com/`) as the source of truth.
- Exclude session-specific or duplicate tracking parameters when indexing.
- The product-portfolio filter URLs (e.g., `?filterByCapacityValues=1%20TB`) are server-rendered category pages, not duplicates of the parent category - treat them as discrete content.
- Regularly refresh against the sitemap to incorporate new product launches.
