In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL in a file on your website https://yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml

Your Sitemap File is an XML document that describes the structure of your site and the date that each page was last updated. Search engines use this information to help determine when they need to re-list a page or alter its search relevancy.

  1. First go to your Dashboard
  2. Click System & Settings to pop out the menu
  3. Under Optimization Jobs
  4. Click the play button and the CMS will update your sitemap.xml text

Expected Results There will be a sitemap.xml located: https://documentation.concretecms.org/sitemap.xml
