How to Configure RSS Feeds with Awesome URL

What is RSS and its benefits?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a type of web feed that allows users and applications to access updates to websites in a standardized, computer-readable format. It is commonly used for distributing news and blog updates.

Enabling your customers to create their own customized feed with updates from your website is now possible with the Awesome URL module's integrated RSS feature.

Benefits of RSS:

• Convenience: Users can receive automatic updates from their favorite websites without needing to visit them manually.
• Increased reach: Providing an RSS feed makes it easier for your audience to stay informed about your latest content, thereby increasing your reach and engagement.
• SEO benefits: Regular updates via RSS can improve your site's SEO by encouraging search engines to crawl your site more frequently.

Configuring RSS feeds

The Awesome URL module supports RSS feed configuration, allowing you to create and customize RSS feeds for your website.

Steps to configure RSS feeds:

Step 1: Open the module configuration page.

Step 2: Navigate to the RSS tab.

Step 3: Turn the "Enable RSS feed" option to "Yes".

Step 4: Choose the pages you want to include in the RSS feed. This can include product pages, category pages, and other content pages.

Step 5: You can customize the content that appears before and after each item in the feed, allowing you to add specific messages or formatting to your RSS items.

Step 6: Limit the number of new items displayed in the feed by entering a number in the "Item limit" field. Leaving this field blank will display all items, which is not recommended for large catalogs.

Step 7: Save the changes to apply your RSS feed configurations.

By following these steps, you can effectively configure and manage RSS feeds for your website using the Awesome URL module. This will help keep your audience informed and engaged with your latest updates, while also benefiting your site's SEO performance.
