Sitemap

add to routes/web.php

use App\Http\Controllers\SitemapController;

Route::get('/sitemap.xml', [SitemapController::class, 'index']);

Route::get('/product-sitemap-{page}.xml', [SitemapController::class, 'productSitemap'])->where('page', '[0-9]+');

Route::get('/pages-sitemap.xml', [SitemapController::class, 'pagesSitemap']);

Using -{page} style keeps URLs clean and prevents route collisions.
