Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the process of tailoring your website’s content to rank highly on Google or another search engine’s results pages. To help you master SEO for your site, your CMS includes a range of SEO tools that will assist you with content optimisation.
Sitemaps
In short, a sitemap is just a list of all your entry URLs mapped out on your website. Sitemaps advise search engines to find and crawl pages on your website, which improves recognition and boosts a site's overall ranking.
Sitemaps are files generated by Craft CMS that contain a list of all the entries on your Digistorm Website. These are made available to search engines so they can get an accurate layout of the content on your site. Sitemaps can also send other details about your content to search engines, including the priority that content should be given and how frequently it will be updated and need to be reindexed.
The sitemaps menu allows you to define the change frequency, priority, and overall inclusion for content on your website based on its entire section or category.
Redirects
Redirecting URLs is the practice of switching an existing URL to a different one, effectively telling your visitors and Google that a page has a new location.
To create a Redirect, navigate to SEO in Craft in the main left-hand side menu, then select Redirects.
Here, you can create or manage the redirects:
To find a redirect in the list, use the native browser 'find' function.
Redirecting to a subdomain or different website
Go into your entries and select the entry you wish to redirect.
On the page/entry itself, change the entry type to Redirect.
Then, add the destination url and save.
