Lightweight Sitemap Generator is a minimal yet powerful WordPress plugin that creates a valid XML sitemap for search engines (Google, Yandex and others), fully compliant with <a href="https://www.sitemaps.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">sitemaps.org</a>.
Main features:
<ul>
<li>Generates a valid <code>sitemap.xml</code> with proper <code><loc></code> and <code><lastmod></code> tags (ISO-8601 UTC format)</li>
<li>Unified structure for posts, pages, products, and taxonomies</li>
<li>Global chronological order (newer → older)</li>
<li>Automatic duplicate prevention across all sources</li>
<li>Two modes:
<ul>
<li>File mode — creates a static sitemap in the site root (minimal server load)</li>
<li>Dynamic mode — builds sitemap on-the-fly (always up to date, cached with TTL)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Clean and minimal settings page in WP Admin:
<ul>
<li>Enable or disable posts, pages, categories, tags, authors, archives</li>
<li>Supports WooCommerce products, DW Q&A, and all detected custom post types/taxonomies</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Homepage is always included automatically</li>
<li>Flexible <code><lastmod></code> for homepage:
<ul>
<li>Smart — based on the most recently updated content</li>
<li>Conservative — static front-page date</li>
<li>Fast — current time on each generation</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Optional sitemap splitting (up to 50 000 URLs per part) with automatic sitemap index</li>
<li>Two independent generation engines — optimized for both regular and ultra-large sites</li>
<li>Detects potential conflicts with other sitemap providers and SEO plugins</li>
<li>Shows last generation time (UTC or site timezone)</li>
<li>Safe caching with TTL and diagnostic comments (HIT / MISS / timing)</li>
<li>HTTP header support:
<ul>
<li>Sends correct Content-Type, Last-Modified, Cache-Control, and ETag headers</li>
<li>Optional X-Robots-Tag: noindex, follow header for sitemap requests</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Security and reliability:
<ul>
<li>Capability checks and nonce validation</li>
<li>Strict sanitization and option whitelisting</li>
<li>File operations via <code>WP_Filesystem</code> (with safe fallback)</li>
<li>No external requests — lightweight and self-contained</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

This plugin will automatically generate XML site maps for your BuddyPress groups and users. It will schedule new sitemaps to be generated once daily, and includes a link to manually regenerate them if you need to. Two separate sitemaps will be generated: one for your groups, and one for your members. Sitemaps are split into separate files based on the first letter or number in the name of each group and username. The plugin is set to default to 1,000 links per sitemap file, but you can increase or decrease that number. Keep in mind, if it is too high, your sitemap files will be very large and difficult to load. Regardless of how many sitemap files you have, you will only need to submit two links to Google.
