Sitemaps our plugin can generate (you can toggle each on/off):

Our plugin is more than just a simple XML sitemap generator; it is a full-featured solution designed to cater to your every need. We generate multiple types of sitemaps to ensure every corner of your website is discoverable. Specifically, we can create sitemaps for your pages, posts, images, and videos. Furthermore, our plugin also supports custom post types and taxonomies, which means that whether you have a blog, an e-commerce store, or a news site, we’ve got you covered. In addition to the XML format, we also generate HTML sitemaps, which are perfect for improving the user experience on your site.

Why Our Sitemap Generator plugin?

Search engines discover and understand your site faster when your sitemaps are complete, clean, and current. Sitemap Pro Manager writes static, ultra-fast XML files to your uploads folder, serves them from pretty root URLs (e.g., /sitemap_index.xml), and includes a polished stylesheet so your sitemaps are easy to read and share.

Highlights at a glance

1. One-click generation: Press Generate Sitemaps Now and you’re done.
2. Automatic refresh: Regenerates on a schedule (hourly by default) so new/updated content is included automatically.
3. Smart cleanup: Before each build we flush permalinks (to keep pretty URLs working) and delete previously generated sitemap XML files so you never serve stale or conflicting files.
4. Beautiful & readable: XML is dressed with an XSL/CSS layer—centered layout, clear headings, helpful counts, and a subtle “Generated for humans and bots” note.
   (Includes “sitemap generated by O2 Digital: https://seo2agency.com/tools/free-sitemap-generator-plugin/” in the heading description.)
5. Index + auto-splitting: Large sites are split into multiple sitemap parts automatically and indexed in /sitemap_index.xml.
6. WooCommerce-ready: Products, categories, tags, and product attributes are first-class citizens.
7. News ready: Generate a Google News sitemap for fresh content (last 48 hours), with category filters.
8. Robots aware: We add (or keep) a Sitemap: line in robots.txt so crawlers find your index quickly.
9. Search engine pings: Optionally ping Google and Bing after generation.
10. CDN/cache friendly: Files are static, so they’re quick to serve and easy for caches/CDNs to handle.

The features of our plugin are built to save you time and provide peace of mind. For one, our seamless integration with WordPress allows for effortless installation and setup. The sitemap is automatically created and updated the moment you activate the plugin. After all, you should not have to manually refresh it. Our plugin also offers granular control, so you can easily exclude specific pages or entire categories that you do not want to be indexed. Still, we go a step further. We notify search engines whenever new content is published or updated, which can result in your latest information being indexed up to ten times faster.

What’s inside each sitemap type

• Pages / Posts
  Canonical URLs with correct lastmod. Ideal for core content discovery.
• Authors
  Links to author archives when they have published content.
• Blog Categories & Tags
  Taxonomy archives to help crawlers map topical structure.

  Comprehensive WooCommerce coverage—including your custom attributes (pa_*).
