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>
