In a digital world with constant change, it is difficult to know and remember everything.

This creates a habitual prioritization that directs our focus to identify the most important items.

The challenge is we use important as a synonym for difficult, even though the most important things are often the most simple.

1. Title area displayed in Google search results is measured by pixels, not characters. The maximum length is 512 pixels.  

2. Google supports multiple sitemaps, including image sitemaps. The one sitemap Google does not support is a product sitemap for eCommerce. 

3. XML sitemaps can have many URLs. 500,000 URLs is the maximum. 

4. Deleted website pages still being indexed by Google? Try using the HTTP status code 410; this is the best way to permanently remove a URL from Google’s index.  
5. If a webpage, or the entire site is down for scheduled maintenance - it is best to use the HTTP status code 503. 

6. Canonical is the version of a page located on the primary URL associated with content
