Sitemap Status

Logs the http status for each sitemap location in the status report and adds an entry to the Toolbar. Optionally checks for errors or specific elements in the DOM.

Use case: while doing a deployment (production or pull request based environment),
be able to check the status of each page from the sitemap based on a production database.
As unit/E2E tests might contain testing gaps and/or possibly not catch "content based" issues (like redirects/aliases), this can be used as an affordable smoke test.

Status check Toolbar result Executed by default 5xx http status ❌ Yes DOM error ❌ Optional DOM missing element ❌ Optional 4xx http status ⚠️ Yes 3xx, 2xx http status ✅ Yes Unreachable ℹ Yes Not checked yet ❓ n/a

Dependencies

• Simple XML Sitemap
• curl and libxml PHP extensions

Configuration

Can be used without any configuration via drush.

Optional configuration for UI or cron based checks:
Configuration > Development > Sitemap status (/admin/config/development/sitemap-status).

Drush can be used on build e.g. within a post-rollout task. Example: generate the sitemap then run the check.

- run:
    name: drush ssg
    command: drush simple-sitemap:generate
    service: cli
- run:
    name: drush ssc
    command: drush sitemap-status:check
    service: cli
