Did You Know? New Page Management and Sitemap Import

One of our proudest achievements in recent months has been our updated page management feature, designed to make setting up sites on AAArdvark faster and easier than ever.

Here’s what makes it so powerful:

1. Automatic Sitemap Detection:
   Once you’ve entered the site’s URL, AAArdvark will detect and import the sitemap automatically.
2. Streamlined Page Management:
   Add multiple pages or your entire sitemap with just a few clicks.
3. Flexibility:
   Revisit the sitemap anytime to add or remove more pages easily.

No more manually entering every page or having AAArdvark randomly select pages. Now, setting up a site in AAArdvark is fast and hassle-free.
