Download the PHP package spatie/laravel-sitemap without Composer

Generate sitemaps with ease

This package can generate a sitemap without you having to add urls to it manually. This works by crawling your entire site.

You can also create your sitemap manually:

Or you can have the best of both worlds by generating a sitemap and then adding more links to it:

You can also control the maximum depth of the sitemap:

The generator has the ability to execute JavaScript on each page so links injected into the dom by JavaScript will be crawled as well.

You can also use one of your available filesystem disks to write the sitemap to.

You may need to set the file visibility on one of your sitemaps. For example, if you are writing a sitemap to S3 that you want to be publicly available. You can set the third parameter to true to make it public. Note: This can only be used on the ->writeToDisk() method.

You can also add your models directly by implementing the \Spatie\Sitemap\Contracts\Sitemapable interface.

Now you can add a single post model to the sitemap or even a whole collection.

This way you can add all your pages super fast without the need to crawl them all.

Installation

First, install the package via composer:

The package will automatically register itself.

If you want to update your sitemap automatically and frequently you need to perform some extra steps.

Configuration

You can override the default options for the crawler. First publish the configuration:

This will copy the default config to config/sitemap.php where you can edit it.

Usage

Generating a sitemap

The easiest way is to crawl the given domain and generate a sitemap with all found links. The destination of the sitemap should be specified by $path.

The generated sitemap will look similar to this:

Customizing the sitemap generator

Define a custom Crawl Profile

You can create a custom crawl profile by implementing the Spatie\Crawler\CrawlProfiles\CrawlProfile interface and by customizing the shouldCrawl() method for full control over what url/domain/sub-domain should be crawled:

and register your CustomCrawlProfile::class in config/sitemap.php.

Changing properties

To change the lastmod, changefreq and priority of the contact page:

Leaving out some links

If you don't want a crawled link to appear in the sitemap, just don't return it in the callable you pass to hasCrawled.

Preventing the crawler from crawling some pages

You can also instruct the underlying crawler to not crawl some pages by passing a callable to shouldCrawl.

Note: shouldCrawl will only work with the default crawl Profile or custom crawl profiles that implement a shouldCrawlCallback method.

Configuring the crawler

The crawler itself can be configured to do a few different things.

You can configure the crawler used by the sitemap generator, for example: to ignore robot checks; like so.

Limiting the amount of pages crawled

You can limit the amount of pages crawled by calling setMaximumCrawlCount

Executing Javascript

The sitemap generator can execute JavaScript on each page so it will discover links that are generated by your JS scripts. You can enable this feature by setting execute_javascript in the config file to true.

Under the hood, headless Chrome is used to execute JavaScript. Here are some pointers on how to install it on your system.

The package will make an educated guess as to where Chrome is installed on your system. You can also manually pass the location of the Chrome binary to executeJavaScript().

Manually adding links

You can manually add links to a sitemap:

Adding alternates to links

Multilingual sites may have several alternate versions of the same page (one per language). Based on the previous example adding an alternate can be done as follows:

Note the function which takes an alternate URL and the locale it belongs to.

Adding images to links

Urls can also have images. See also https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/sitemaps/image-sitemaps

Adding videos to links

As well as images, videos can be wrapped by URL tags. See https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/video-sitemaps

You can set required attributes like so:

If you want to pass the optional parameters like family_friendly, live, or platform:

Manually creating a sitemap

You can also create a sitemap fully manual:

Creating a sitemap index

You can create a sitemap index:

You can pass a Spatie\Sitemap\Tags\Sitemap object to manually set the lastModificationDate property.

the generated sitemap index will look similar to this:

Create a sitemap index with sub-sequent sitemaps

You can call the maxTagsPerSitemap method to generate a sitemap that only contains the given amount of tags

Generating the sitemap frequently

Your site will probably be updated from time to time. In order to let your sitemap reflect these changes, you can run the generator periodically. The easiest way of doing this is to make use of Laravel's default scheduling capabilities.

You could set up an artisan command much like this one:

That command should then be scheduled in the console kernel.
