Website

Read pages from your domain with a sitemap or a link crawl.

A Website source is one connector. You paste a URL. Datalumo checks that the host is reachable, looks for a sitemap, and then indexes pages on that domain.

WordPress, Shopify, and Laravel have their own integrations. If the check recognises those platforms, the wizard may suggest switching.

#Add a website

  1. Open a knowledge base and add a Website source.
  2. Paste the site URL (the homepage, or any page on the domain).
  3. Run the check. Datalumo fetches the start page, probes /sitemap.xml and /sitemap_index.xml, and reads Sitemap: lines in robots.txt.
  4. Pick how to discover pages, set a recrawl interval, and create the source.

Progress shows on the source page. The source flips to Ready when every page has been learned.

#Sitemap or crawl

After the check, you choose one discovery path. You can switch before you create the source.

Path When to use it
Sitemap A sitemap was found, or you have a sitemap URL. Datalumo reads that file (and nested sitemap indexes) and indexes each page loc on the same registrable domain.
Crawl No sitemap, or you want to follow links from the start page instead. Datalumo walks same-host links, honours robots.txt, and stops at your plan's page limit.

Sitemap locs and nested sitemaps off your domain are dropped. The crawl stays on the same host. Tracking query parameters and asset URLs (images, scripts, stylesheets) are skipped.

#Recrawl

Choose how often Datalumo should fetch again:

  • Manual (Check now only)
  • Daily
  • Weekly (default)
  • Monthly

Check now runs the same path again at any time. Unchanged pages are skipped. Your plan's page allowance is the commercial cap on new pages.

#After it is Ready

Create a chat or search widget on the same knowledge base, add your site domain, and embed it.

To keep a CMS in sync instead of crawling it, use WordPress, Shopify, or Laravel.
