Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about setting up and troubleshooting your XML Sitemaps.
What is an XML sitemap?
An XML sitemap is a structured file that lists a website's essential pages, acting as a roadmap to ensure search engines like Google and Bing can find and crawl them efficiently.
Where can I find my sitemap?
Once the plugin is enabled, your sitemap index can be found natively at yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml.
Does WordPress already have a sitemap?
Yes, WordPress has a basic core sitemap introduced in version 5.5. This plugin gracefully replaces that core functionality to provide greater indexing control, custom post type management, and advanced taxonomy support.
Can I use this with WooCommerce?
Absolutely. If WooCommerce is active, Products, Product Categories, and Product Tags will automatically appear as selectable options in the settings panel for immediate inclusion.
Does this guarantee Google indexing?
No. XML Sitemaps help search engine crawlers discover your URLs efficiently, but search engines independently determine actual indexing and ranking based on your on-page content quality.
Does the plugin collect my data?
No. This plugin is 100% privacy-friendly. It collects zero telemetry, usage analytics, or personal information. It runs strictly on your own hardware.
