Meteor Sitemaps

Overview

Meteor-sitemaps is a powerful package designed to create dynamic and real-time sitemaps for your web applications. One of its standout features is the ability to generate sitemaps on-the-fly without the need for a persistent sitemap.xml file on disk. This makes it ideal for sites with frequently changing content, as the sitemaps will always reflect the latest updates from your database. However, it is recommended to consider static sitemaps if your site has a high volume of pages or is crawled at a high frequency.

The setup is straightforward, allowing developers to quickly integrate it within their Meteor applications. By utilizing simple functions, you can easily create, manage, and serve multiple sitemaps tailored to your site’s structure and needs.
