Sitemap for SPA sites with AEM SPA implementation

[phychem_ad]

Hi

we are implementing an SPA site with AEM 6.5+SPA editor, is there a way to generate a sitemap to optimize for SEO?  or is SSR a must?  and if SSR is a must, then using Adobe I/O also the recommended approach?

with my previous implementation with AEM 6.3, we used the ACS commons sitemap generator https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/sitemap/index.html for non SPA app.  Would this still work for SPA?

Hi @phychem_ad,

Two factors like SEO and Page Speed requirement for your site help decide if there is a need for SSR.

Below official documentation link highlights "when to use SSR".

If you have decided to use SSR, then Adobe I/O is the recommended solution per the below section

@phychem_ad for SEO, SSR, you can utilise the ACS commons sitemap generator, https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/sitemap/index.html

thanks @Vijayalakshmi_S @BrianKasingli 

in the case that my "When to use SSR" answer is no, may i know whether i still need to use the ACS commons sitemap generator to generate the sitemap (ie. is it even going to work on SPA sites) or assume(hope) that the main search engine will be able to evaluate the JS?
