Sitecore

In this blog, we’ll explore how to customize the build-time behavior during Static Site Generation (SSG) in an XM Cloud–based application. As you may know, most of our pages are statically generated during the frontend build process and are then served from Vercel's servers or CDN. This significantly boosts page load speed and improves overall site performance. But the key question is — how can we customize this process? Often, we have pages in the CMS that are quite old — for example, blog posts that were published 10 years ago. The goal is to exclude such outdated pages from the SSG process by omitting their routes during build time. As a result, these pages won’t be pre-rendered; instead, they will be generated on-demand when a user requests them, allowing the server to handle the rendering dynamically.We will divide this blog into 2 part. Part 1: First part will be how to get the pages that we want to exlude and store it some where. Part 2: Pass these list of pages to grap...

By Default, we have default field in Sitecore for all default page template.That is PageTitle. We can add our own custom fields also.This fields are exposed using Layout Service.Let's see how we can read it.
