Quick Reference

Enable/Disable Features

// In config/seo.php

'redirects' => [
    'enabled' => true,
],

'sitemap' => [
    'enabled' => true,
],

'robots' => [
    'enabled' => true,
],

'analysis' => [
    'enabled' => true,
],

Feature Check

if (seoIsEnabled('redirects')) {
    // Redirect handling is active
}

if (seoIsEnabled('sitemap')) {
    // Sitemap generation is available
}

Integration Points

Middleware

The package provides middleware for redirect handling:

// In bootstrap/app.php
->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
    $middleware->web(append: [
        \ArtisanPackUI\Seo\Http\Middleware\HandleRedirects::class,
    ]);
})

Routes

The package can register routes for:

  • /sitemap.xml - Main sitemap or sitemap index
  • /sitemap-{type}.xml - Type-specific sitemaps
  • /robots.txt - Dynamic robots.txt
// In config/seo.php
'routes' => [
    'sitemap' => true,
    'robots' => true,
],

Scheduled Tasks

Add sitemap generation to your scheduler:

// In routes/console.php or app/Console/Kernel.php
Schedule::command('seo:generate-sitemap')->daily();
Schedule::command('seo:submit-sitemap')->weekly();

Performance Considerations

Caching Strategy

'cache' => [
    'enabled' => true,
    'driver' => 'redis',  // Use Redis for production
    'ttl' => 3600,        // 1 hour default
],

'sitemap' => [
    'cache' => true,
    'cache_ttl' => 86400, // 24 hours for sitemaps
],

'redirects' => [
    'cache' => true,
    'cache_ttl' => 3600,  // 1 hour for redirects
],

Queue Processing

'analysis' => [
    'queue' => true,  // Run analysis in background
],
