I see a lot of publishers struggle with timely search engine indexing after publishing or updating an article. This happens because:

(1) the update invalidates the sitemap cache and Google sees a long response time due to regeneration which makes it apply crawl throttling as the site appears to be overloaded; or

(2) the sitemap returns stale content (without the new article URL) because there is a delay in regeneration.
