We should switch away from the sitemap plugin to a custom sitemap, which should include:

  • All pages (products+about+docs)
  • Alternate Product URLs
  • API JSON endpoints

Our current generated sitemap: https://endoflife.date/sitemap.xml, only includes very few pages. We want this to be more exhaustive.

If you'd like to work on this, create a new sitemap.xml file which follows the sitemap specification, and loops over all of the above mentioned links.

Look at the _redirects file to see how to loop through alternate product URLs and JSON endpoints.

Make sure the https://endoflife.date/docs/api/ page is also indexed. If you are new to Jekyll, read through the Jekyll documentation at jekyllrb.com. There some tutorials on the internet that might be helpful as well.

Read through very helpful guide for new contributors during Hacktoberfest as well to understand how to setup the project.

This creates a custom sitemap for us.
- No asset files
- Links to the API
- Includes /docs/api
- Last Modified is okay-okay
- Decided not to index alternate_urls based on guidance from Google
