Sitemap

Control which pages are included in your site’s XML sitemap

Overview

Use the fields in settings to control how your site appears in search engine sitemaps. You can set the file extension for your pages (such as .html) and exclude specific sections of your site from the sitemap.

This is helpful for hiding thank-you pages, test content, or other pages that shouldn't appear in search results.
