XML Sitemaps for Umbraco

XML Sitemaps for Umbraco helps Umbraco 17+ projects publish XML sitemaps. It is designed for teams that want reliable sitemap delivery for search engines without having to build and maintain the full solution themselves.

What It Does

• Creates XML sitemaps from Umbraco content.
• Supports sitemap indexes for larger, multilingual, or multi-site solutions.
• Publishes friendly URLs such as /xmlsitemap.xml.
• Stores generated sitemap files in Umbraco media.
• Refreshes stored sitemap files automatically in the background.
• Supports custom sitemap providers for content that does not live in the Umbraco tree.
• Adds a read-only backoffice configuration overview for sitemaps, filters, storage, and indexes.

Why Teams Use It

• Improves SEO readiness by making sitemap delivery consistent.
• Reduces custom development for standard sitemap needs.
• Supports multilingual and multi-site setups through configuration.
• Keeps sitemap output extensible when content comes from external systems.
• Packages the split internal implementation as one NuGet package for consuming projects.

Typical Use Cases

• Corporate websites that need a standard XML sitemap setup.
• Multilingual Umbraco solutions with separate sitemap outputs per culture.
• Multi-site solutions that need host-specific sitemap filenames.
• Solutions with multiple sitemap files collected into one sitemap index.
• Projects that need to include products, listings, or other external data in a sitemap.

Installation

dotnet add package Casko.XmlSitemapsForUmbraco

Implementation Summary

The package is configured in appsettings.json under XmlSitemaps and can expose sitemap files directly on the site using rewrite URLs. Teams can define:

• Which cultures to include or exclude.
• Which parts of the content tree should appear in each sitemap.
• Whether pages marked with values such as noindex should be excluded.
• Which sitemap files should be grouped into a sitemap index.
• Which custom providers should add project-specific sitemap output.
• How stored media files and background refreshes should behave.

Good Fit If

• You want a reusable sitemap solution for Umbraco.
• You need more control than a simple one-file sitemap.
• You want sitemap behavior to be configuration-led rather than hardcoded.
• You want a package that can start simple and still support custom sitemap providers later.
