Ignite generates pages as directory/index.html, so the canonical URL for each page includes a trailing slash (e.g. /library/ not /library). The sitemap was emitting URLs without the trailing slash, causing 301 redirects on hosts like GitHub Pages that redirect /path to /path/. This ensures sitemap <loc> URLs match the actual served URLs, avoiding unnecessary redirects and improving SEO.

Summary
Ignite generates pages as
directory/index.html, so the canonical served URL for each page includes a trailing slash (e.g.,/library/not/library). The sitemap was emitting URLs without the trailing slash, causing 301 redirects on hosts like GitHub Pages.For example, the sitemap would contain:
But the actual page is served at
https://example.com/library/, resulting in a 301 redirect. This means search engines follow an unnecessary redirect for every page in the sitemap.This fix ensures sitemap
