<p><strong>Lightweight Sitemap Generator</strong> is a minimal 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>.</p>
<p><strong>Main features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Generates a valid <code>sitemap.xml</code> (or wp-sitemap.xml) with proper <code><loc></code> and <code><lastmod></code> tags (ISO-8601 UTC format)</li>
<li>Unified structure for posts, pages, products, built-in taxonomies, and detected public third-party taxonomies</li>
<li>Global chronological order (newer <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> older)</li>
<li>Automatic duplicate prevention across all sources</li>
<li>Two modes:
<ul>
<li><strong>File mode</strong> — creates a static sitemap in the site root (minimal server load)</li>
<li><strong>Dynamic mode</strong> — 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><strong>Smart</strong> — based on the most recently updated content</li>
<li><strong>Conservative</strong> — static front-page date</li>
<li><strong>Fast</strong> — 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><strong>Google News</strong>: Optional separate <code>news-sitemap.xml</code> for Google News with 48-hour news window and 1,000 URLs per file</li>
<li>Two independent generation engines — optimized for both regular and ultra-large sites</li>
<li>Safe caching with TTL and diagnostic comments (HIT / MISS / timing)</li>
<li><strong>HTTP header support</strong>:
<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><strong>Security and reliability</strong>:
<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</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
