Some features such as JavaScript, cookies, session IDs, frames, DHTML, or Flash can make it difficult for search engines to crawl your site.
Check the following:
Use a text browser such as Lynx to examine your site, since many search engines see your site much as Lynx would.
If features such as JavaScript, cookies, session IDs, frames, DHTML, or Flash keep you from seeing all of your site in a text browser, then search engine spiders may have trouble crawling your site.

To improve SEO following robots.txt rules of "User-agent: *", it checks:
- http response code of all internal and external sources into domain (images, scripts, links, iframes, videos, audios)
- malformed URLs into domain
- page title of URLs into domain
- page description of URLs into domain
- page h1/h2/h3 of URLs into domain
- page size of URLs into sitemap
- image alt of URLs into domain
- image title of URLs into domain.
You can use absolute or relative URLs inside the site.
This script will set automatically all URLs to skip and to allow into sitemap following the robots.txt rules of "User-agent: *" and robots tag into page head.
There is not any automatic function to submit updated sitemap to search engines.
Sitemap will be saved in the main directory of the domain.
It rewrites robots.txt adding updated sitemap informations.
Maximum limit of URLs to insert into sitemap is 2.5T.
Other main features:
- backup of all previous sitemaps into bak folder.
- it repeats URL scan once after 5 sec in case of http response code is different from 200.
- it prevents saving sitemap if total URLs percentage difference from previous successful
exec is more than a preset value.
