                  from django.contrib.sitemaps import Sitemap
from .models import Post


class PostSitemap(Sitemap):
    changefreq = 'weekly'
    priority = 0.9

    def items(self):
        return Post.objects.filter(status='published')

    def lastmod(self, obj):
        return obj.updated_at

    def location(self, obj):
        return obj.get_absolute_url()


class StaticViewSitemap(Sitemap):
    priority = 0.5
    changefreq = 'monthly'

    def items(self):
        return ['home', 'about', 'contact']

    def location(self, item):
        from django.urls import reverse
        return reverse(item)

                  from django.contrib.sitemaps.views import sitemap
from django.urls import path
from blog.sitemaps import PostSitemap, StaticViewSitemap

sitemaps = {
    'posts': PostSitemap,
    'static': StaticViewSitemap,
}

urlpatterns = [
    path('sitemap.xml', sitemap, {'sitemaps': sitemaps},
         name='django.contrib.sitemaps.views.sitemap'),
]

Sitemaps help search engines discover and index pages. Django's sitemap framework generates XML sitemaps automatically. I create sitemap classes for each content type, defining items(), lastmod(), changefreq(), and priority(). For large sites, I use sitemap indexes. I configure in urls.py and submit to search engines. Dynamic sitemaps update automatically as content changes. This improves SEO without manual sitemap maintenance. I cache sitemaps for performance on high-traffic sites.
