How to Refresh Your Sitemap (on Lovalingo and Google Search Console)

Your sitemap updates automatically on every publish. If it's outdated, you just need to trigger a new deployment.

The Problem

Lovable (and similar vibe coding tools) won't let you publish without making a change first.

The Fix

Paste this prompt into Lovable:

Add a comment <!-- sitemap refresh --> at the end of index.html, then publish the site.

That's it. The prebuild script runs automatically and regenerates your sitemap.

Verify It Worked

After publishing, check your sitemap at:

https://your-domain.com/sitemap.xml

All your translated pages (/fr/, /de/, etc.) should now appear.

Force Google to Detect New Pages

After refreshing your sitemap, tell Google to re-crawl it:

1. Go to Google Search Console

2. Select your property

3. Click Sitemaps in the left menu

4. Delete your old sitemap (click the three dots → Remove)

5. Re-submit: enter sitemap.xml and click Submit

Google will now crawl your updated sitemap and discover your new translated pages. This usually takes 24-48 hours.
