XML Sitemap for Search Engine crawler and SEO

[TohidN]

Feature Request: Adding XML Sitemap for notes I noticed that google is quite reluctant to crawl my KB compared to blog posts, Sitemap may help with it. XML sitemaps also help with lowering number of unnecessary crawls from search engines, improveing indexing speed of updated pages, and helps with SEO ranking.

Resources:

• Latest version of standard xml sitmap scheme
• Sitemap Index

Notes:

• Given that PKMs can get fairly big, using "sitemap index" instead of one big xml site would be preferable.
• I should also note that sorting notes based on last modification(lastmod) before creating sitemaps can greatly improve indexing speed and lower server resource consumption as crawlers won't re-crawl pages that are not modified.

Possible plugin options:

• I think only loc and lastmod tags would be necessary for each url. however plugin can check for specific meta fields of notes to set changefreq and priority as well. though in case of PKM notes, this two fields are not important.
• Option to enable sitemap index and set maximum number of urls in each sitemap file.

Interesting, I will definitely consider adding this in the future. But it's probably a low priority for now Thanks for the suggestion!
