Automated Sitemap Generation

Prezet automatically generates XML sitemaps using a lightweight fork of the Spatie sitemap package.

#How It Works

The sitemap is automatically generated whenever you run:

php artisan prezet:index

This creates or updates prezet_sitemap.xml in your public directory, ensuring your sitemap always reflects the current state of your content.

#Configuration

#APP_URL Setting

The sitemap hostname is determined by the APP_URL in your .env file. Set this to your production hostname before generating the sitemap for your live site.

#Sitemap Index

You can submit prezet_sitemap.xml directly to Google Search Console, or include it in a main sitemap index:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <sitemap>
    <loc>https://example.com/prezet_sitemap.xml</loc>
  </sitemap>
  <!-- Other sitemaps... -->
</sitemapindex>

#Customization

Sitemap generation is handled by the UpdateSitemapCommand class. To customize the process (change frequency, priority, video sitemaps, etc.), modify this class.

For advanced options, see the Spatie sitemap package documentation.
