Are there any ways (configuration options) to set sitemap.xml rebuild/update interval? Sitemap updates only after hitting the Clear sitemap cache button in the admin panel by default. Can this behavior be changed?

Hello @twissell, right now the cache time is hardcoded to 24 hours in the source, we can make this a setting on the '/admin/settings/web-crawler' page. I've created an issue for it.

As far as I know, most forum engines rebuild the sitemap cache only after manual clearing or certain scheduled tasks. If there’s no built-in interval setting, you may need to use a cron job or automation script to refresh it periodically.
Keeping the sitemap updated automatically is definitely better for faster indexing and SEO consistency.
