Zorto generates sitemap.xml automatically. It is enabled by default — no configuration needed.

Verify #

Build your site and confirm the sitemap exists:

zorto build
ls public/sitemap.xml

If you need to disable it for some reason: generate_sitemap = false in config.toml.

Add a robots.txt #

Create static/robots.txt to point crawlers to your sitemap:

User-agent: *
Allow: /

Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml

Replace https://example.com with your base_url. Note: static/robots.txt is a plain file, not a template — you must update the URL manually if your base_url changes.

Submit to search engines #

Submit https://example.com/sitemap.xml (using your base_url) to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Both re-crawl automatically once submitted.
