Why this matters
Search engines need discovery files and canonical signals to understand your content structure. Readers and aggregators still benefit from RSS.
Setup
Astro can generate feeds and sitemaps during build, which keeps the site fully static.
integrations: [mdx(), sitemap()]Implementation notes
Robots and canonical URLs should agree with the same site URL and base path. Pair this with the breadcrumb structure in Astro Breadcrumb SEO.
Final checklist
- Sitemap exists after build
- RSS includes recent posts
- Canonical URLs match the production hostname
