Sitemap

SiteX automatically generates an XML sitemap at /sitemap.xml. The sitemap includes:

  • All published articles with last-modified dates
  • All published blog posts
  • Category archive pages
  • Top list pages
  • Static pages

The sitemap is regenerated automatically when content is published or updated.

Robots.txt

The /robots.txt file is auto-generated and points to your sitemap. You can customize it from the SEO settings page to add custom allow/disallow rules.

Structured Data

SiteX automatically generates JSON-LD structured data for:

  • Articles - Article schema with author, date, image
  • Blog posts - BlogPosting schema
  • Top lists - ItemList schema for rich results
  • FAQ pages - FAQPage schema
  • Organization - Site-wide Organization schema
  • Breadcrumbs - BreadcrumbList on all pages

Canonical URLs

Canonical URLs are automatically added to all pages to prevent duplicate content issues. SiteX handles:

  • Trailing slash normalization
  • Query parameter stripping for canonical tags
  • Pagination canonical links (rel=prev/next)

Open Graph & Twitter Cards

All pages include Open Graph (Facebook) and Twitter Card meta tags. Per-page OG images can be set, or the default site OG image is used.
