Sitemaps

The sitemap module isn't enabled by default. You enable it by adding the following line to your Program.cs file:

app.UseMiddleware<SitemapMiddleware>();

The SitemapMiddleware class can be found in the Limbo.Umbraco.Seo.Sitemaps namespace. When enabled, the sitemap be found at /sitemap.xml.

Properties

By default the sitemap module is backed by the SitemapService class, which looks for a number of properties that you can then use to control the sitemap:

• hideFromSitemap
  Add a boolean value to the page. If this property is true for a given page, the page will be ignored in the sitemap.

• sitemapPageChangeFrequency
  Combine this with our Sitemap Change Frequency property editor, and users can specify the change frequency of each page, which will then be included in the sitemap.

• sitemapPagePriority
  Combine this our Sitemap Priority property editor to let users specify the priority of each page. This will instruct (read: suggest) search engines how often to check your pages.
