Sitemap Warming

Turn XML sitemaps into a reliable map of URLs to keep warm.

Sitemaps are the source of truth for many sites. Enabling sitemap inclusion lets Cache Rocket discover URLs at scale—ideal for large content libraries and stores where manual entry URL lists are not enough.

Highlights

  • Discover URLs from XML sitemaps
  • Catch newly published pages faster
  • Scale beyond hand-maintained entry lists
  • Combine with depth-based link discovery

Stay in sync with publishing

As CMS tools rewrite sitemaps, warmers that read them naturally pick up new routes without constant reconfiguration.

Large inventory friendly

Category and product sitemaps help e-commerce teams cover thousands of URLs systematically.

How it works

  1. 1

    Point to sitemap URLs

    Add sitemap locations as warmer inputs where supported.

  2. 2

    Enable sitemap crawling

    Turn on include-sitemaps for the warmer.

  3. 3

    Review discovered URLs

    Confirm the queue covers the paths you expect.

Where it shines

Publishers

Warm new posts soon after they appear in sitemaps.

WooCommerce & large catalogs

Cover product URLs without pasting thousands of entries.

Multilingual sites

Include per-locale sitemap indexes.

Frequently asked questions
