This feature request aims to automate the validity of the topics sitemap by including or excluding specific URL based on website indexing rules at post/topic level or category level.

The idea is simple:

  • All URLs with a 200 HTTP status code are included in the sitemap by default. (Already live)
  • directories for categories and pages that have been set to noindex should be automatically excluded
  • The sitemap is automatically generated and updated whenever there is a change in URLs, robots meta tags
This improves SEO quality, reduces administrative overhead, and helps search engines crawl only content intended for indexing.
