system > /system/sitemap > closed modules listed ~> 401 + cannot deactivate
NB : i make use of voltan's sitemap module ~~ this one only is declared to GWT & BWT
We have 2 core sitemaps : in system / in page
System module /system/sitemap
- first i don't know how google makes to discover this url (never submitted in GWT), but it finds it !!
- cache files & navigation?
- there is no module config for it
=> please add a setting so we can deactivate the controller
- second it displays uls to closed modules (permission restricted) => generates bad 401 error, that crawlers hate
- we need to fix it so it takes into account the module permission
=> i vote to remove this feature from system module => use sitemap module instead, and make sitemap module being in the standard package as service module
Page module We have also 2 sitemaps in Page module (i've deactivated them)
- /page/xml-sitemap/
- like those from sitemap module and system modul
- i guess for demo purpose? it's good practice to delete them in case you use sitemap module
- /page/sitemap/ => to dress a plan of your site !!
- to keep, but it displays the system/sitemap
- @voltan you could put it in sitemap module, as front index. it is a good practice to show to crawlers a global plan of your site for SEO purpose (push deep links to front)
@taiwen , thanks, better do you know if there was a link to this page from any template? how google found it? would be great to fix the source template also
@taiwen , the fix is a redirection, and the crawlers hate these (penalty). need to more global fix and this url must be have a 404 http referer code (not 301, no redirection) => opens the 404 template page
