Hey guys I have a question. I have website with tags indexed, I have to add tags to sitemap.xml or this is not necessary? If I include all posts in the sitemap (and not the tags) my tags will found by Google?
 
Adding tags to your sitemap.xml is not required for search engine indexing. Tags can usually be discovered and indexed by search engines even without their explicit inclusion in the sitemap.
 
If you include your posts in sitemap, then Yes, your tags will also be found, provided that is not given any "noindex"

It is not necessary to add tags to sitemap.xml.
And yes, if you don't noindex them.

A sitemap helps search engines to find URLs on your site, but I am not sure that all the items in your sitemap will be crawled and indexed. There is no need to add tags to the sitemap.xml.
