REVIEW
Sitemap exists but no <lastmod> entries
Info::
Sitemap has no <lastmod> entries
Without lastmod, Google can't tell which URLs have changed since the last crawl -- it falls back to crawling everything periodically. Adding lastmod (date or ISO 8601 timestamp) on each <url> entry signals freshness so the crawler prioritizes recently-modified pages.
