A generated sitemap combining the canonical page list with its per-page priorities, the feature explorer, every system page, every individual feature page, and every published post with its last-modified date. Feature pages carry different priorities by depth; systems outrank individual features.
Also called: sitemap.xml · site index · page list for google
- 1SITE_PAGES supplies the canonical routes and their priorities.
- 2The feature registry and the systems list supply their own routes.
- 3Published posts are appended with their updated timestamp as lastModified.
- 4liveSiteUrls() builds the same set for change detection and the IndexNow ping, so the sitemap and the announcements can never disagree.
- 5The route is on the public middleware allowlist.
The canonical list exists so "the Pages tab, /sitemap.xml, and the search-engine pings all read THIS list — add a page here and every surface knows about it." Including the feature engine is argued explicitly: "The feature pages are the largest surface on the site by a wide margin and the one most likely to be found by someone searching their problem rather than our product name, so leaving them out of the sitemap would waste the best-matching pages we have."
- Different surfaces had different ideas of what pages existed.
- The largest and best-matching page set was not being submitted.
