Google sitemap submitted URL count, very different then I sent

[Peda]

Hi,

 

In "Google sitemap v3.1.0 - by PrestaShop" module, I checked all options except "index". I clicked "Generate Sitemap" button and sent .xml files to Google web masters (Search Console)

It's created:

1_en_0_sitemap.xml, 1_en_1_sitemap.xml, 1_en_2_sitemap.xml and 1_index_sitemap.xml

 

These files have totally 61306 unique web URL counts.

But Google submitted only 17,547 web pages.

 

I think, Google assume/accept that, there are lots of dublicate URL's in the .XML files.

For instance:

.../en/fiat/20199-engine-crossmember-fiat-fiat-124-serie.html

.../en/fiat/20200-engine-crossmember-fiat-fiat-124-serie.html

.../en/fiat/20201-engine-crossmember-fiat-fiat-124-serie.html

 

But these are different pages ant each of them referring to different products.

 

 

In older versions of "Goodle Sitemap module", I were submitting accurate count of my URL's to Google.

But in the new version of "Google sitemap v3.1.0 - by PrestaShop", I can not.
Maybe the problem occuring from this innovation in the new version: New module reducing the number of XML files, but increasing their sizes.

 

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

Note: (Google FAQ)

Q: Why is my Sitemap file showing a submitted URL count that does not match the number of entries in my Sitemap file?
A: The number of submitted URLs reflects the number of unique URLs submitted in your Sitemap file, not the number of entries in the file. If Google finds a significant number of duplicate URLs, we may limit the number of URLs that we include for this count. You can resolve this issue by making sure that your Sitemap file does not contain duplicate URLs.
