Site maps improvements

I would like Webflow to be able to have different sitemaps for different collections.

Also, the autogenerated sitemap does not include the following XML file tags/attributes ...

priority
lastmod
changefreq

I see that I can upload my own sitemap, but it would be nice if Webflow generated it for me with these extra tags that could be set globally.

    This is fundamental SEO functionality that any other Website provider offers natively. We can't rely on "custom XML sitemaps" as per the Product support recommendation. This needs to be escalated to the Product team ASAP.

    Also, something not mentioned in the description of this ticket is the need for the "content type" of the XML sitemap to be an ACTUAL XML file, not an RSS Feed. Which yes, Google supports it but is not ideal.

    8 Years and still no lastmod? Please help us out Webflow. I have third party integrations and apps that need that info.

    Come on team! This is a basic point that every audit tool highlights, and LLMs take this into account.
    Don't force us to look for alternatives.

    Sure would be nice to pass SEO audits with Webflow's built-in sitemap. +1

    Not sure how lastmod is not already in the sitemap. We could really do with this. +1

    +1 It is disconcerting and does not inspire confidence that (as far as I can tell), it seems like Webflow is not aware that these tags/attributes are best practice for SEO.
