Sitemap

The sitemap is generated with hreflang links for each alternative domain/language automatically and keeps settings and unlisted folder out of the generation. Sitemap is then cached for 8 hours. You can adjust this number in pages/sitemap.xml/[[...sitemap]].ts inside Cache-Control header in your code. A sitemap index is generated to keep a list of all the language sitemaps in https://localhost:3000/{locale}/sitemap-index.xml.

<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <sitemap>
    <loc>https://yoursite.com/en/sitemap.xml</loc>
  </sitemap>
  <sitemap>
    <loc>https://yoursite.com/fr/sitemap.xml</loc>
  </sitemap>
  <sitemap>
    <loc>https://yoursite.com/de/sitemap.xml</loc>
  </sitemap>
  <sitemap>
    <loc>https://yoursite.com/de-at/sitemap.xml</loc>
  </sitemap>
<sitemapindex />
To access the sitemap, you can navigate to `https://localhost:3000/{locale}/sitemap.xml` where you replace `{locale}` with the locale you want to generate the sitemap for.
This is the structure it will generate:
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:news="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:mobile="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-mobile/1.0" xmlns:image="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1" xmlns:video="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1">

    <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="de" href="https://yoursite.com/de/"/>
    <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="de-ch" href="https://yoursite.com/de-ch/"/>
    <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="de-at" href="https://yoursite.com/de-at/"/>
  </url>
  <url>
    <loc>https://yoursite.com/workshop/</loc>
    <lastmod>2023-05-23T13:49:54.478Z</lastmod>
    <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-us" href="https://yoursite.com/en-us/workshop/"/>
    <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="de" href="https://yoursite.com/de/workshop/"/>
    <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="de-ch" href="https://yoursite.com/de-ch/workshop/"/>
    <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="de-at" href="https://yoursite.com/de-at/workshop/"/>
  </url>
</urlset>

If a page is set to noindex it will not be included in the sitemap.
