DevArt Sitemaps is a production-grade static XML sitemap package for Joomla 6 built for very large websites—news portals, magazines, municipalities, business directories, and enterprise Joomla installations that need reliable SEO without slowing down the live site.

Unlike dynamic sitemap generators that hit the database on every request, DevArt Sitemaps builds optimized XML files in the background and serves them as static files. That means no frontend rendering load, minimal database pressure during browsing, and CDN/Cloudflare-friendly delivery even when your sitemap set contains hundreds of thousands or millions of URLs.

The package uses a provider-based architecture with support for Joomla Articles, DevArt Business, DevArt Events, and DevArt Video, plus dedicated Google News sitemap generation. Recent, archive, and News flows are independent, with batch-based, resumable builds designed for shared hosting and resource-limited servers.

Built for scale and stability:
- Static XML output — sitemaps are generated outside normal page rendering
- Automatic splitting — large URL sets are split into manageable XML parts
- Archive engine — monthly archive sitemaps for long-term content libraries
- Joomla Scheduled Tasks — safe automated rebuilds without manual intervention
- Root sitemap validation — publishes final sitemap files, not nested indexes
- Production hardening — invalid URLs skipped, protected temp directories, ACL and CSRF in admin
- Canonical base URL control — correct absolute URLs for multi-domain and CLI builds
- 15 language packs included for global administrator deployments

DevArt Sitemaps is designed so SEO scale never becomes a site stability risk: heavy work runs in controlled build jobs, logs and build history stay in the administrator, and public sitemap files remain fast, cacheable, and search-engine ready.
