Sitemap Generator Plugin
A sitemap is an XML file that contains a complete list of URLs for your website that should be accessible by search engines. Having a sitemap.xml file helps Google and other search engines easily discover and index your pages.
Reaction includes a sitemap generator plugin that periodically generates a sitemap.xml file. This process can also be triggered manually through the operator UI.
Configuration

By default, the sitemap generator is set to rebuild the sitemap.xml file every 24 hours. This can be changed by following these steps:
- Log in to the Reaction Dashboard
- In the sidebar, click "Shop"
- Open the "Options" panel
- Select an interval in the "Sitemap refresh period" select box. Click "Save changes"

- Navigate to the detail page of the product you would like to exclude

- Click the product's title to open up the edit panel
