# Site configuration {#site-configuration}

Cache warmup is based on the configured sites in the TYPO3 installation. Therefore,
in order to control the cache warmup behavior, the site configuration can be used.

Take a look at the [site configuration of EXT:sitemap_locator](https://docs.typo3.org/p/eliashaeussler/typo3-sitemap-locator/main/en-us/Configuration/SiteConfiguration.html#site-configuration)
which provides the XML sitemap location feature.

In addition, the following site configuration options are available:

-   **warming_exclude (site)**

    -   *Type:* boolean
    -   *Path:* warming_exclude
    -   *Default:* 0

    <!-- TODO: no Markdown rendering for "versionadded" -->

    Feature: #793 - Allow to exclude sites and languages from warmingEnable or disable cache warmup for this site. If this is set to `1`,
    the **whole site will be excluded** from cache warmup. By default,
    all sites are included.

-   **warming_exclude (site_language)**

    -   *Type:* boolean
    -   *Path:* languages > (site language) > warming_exclude
    -   *Default:* 0

    <!-- TODO: no Markdown rendering for "versionadded" -->

    Feature: #793 - Allow to exclude sites and languages from warmingEnable or disable cache warmup for this site language. If set to `1`,
    only pages of **this specific site language** will be excluded from
    cache warmup.
