Sitemap generation of the sales channel
Check product activity, category assignment and sales channel of the Sitemap entry. A data set can exist and still be missing in the called Storefront channel.
Check the part files mentioned in the Sitemap index and their up-to-dateness. For self-managed installations, the rebuild depends on the set up update strategy; in SaaS, the sitemap is managed by Shopware.
Where to check the setting in Shopware
Retrieve the sitemap via the specific sales channel domain. Compare affected products with activation and sales channel allocation and check the status of the generated sitemap. A sitemap of another sales channel is not a suitable proof of this URL.
Example of this specific finding
Illustrative control case: The sitemap calls /product/expiration model/, this URL provides 404. The product was either deliberately removed or disappeared due to a routing error.
follow-up audit in Shopware
After a product change, retrieve the affected channel. If the file remains obsolete, check the configured generation instead of manually editing the compressed XML file.
Upon final removal, take the record from the sitemap selection. In the event of unintentional unreachability, restore the URL or set a suitable final destination.
Derogations and scope
A deleted page may correctly deliver 404. The contradictory inclusion in the sitemap is the part to be checked here.
