Instant Sitemap is a lightweight, zero-configuration plugin that gives you a single, powerful feature: 
A one-click “Generate Sitemap” button in your WordPress admin (left menu → Instant Sitemap).
When clicked, it: 
– Instantly generates a static <code>sitemap.xml</code> file in your site’s root. 
– Backs up the previous sitemap with a timestamped filename (e.g., <code>sitemap-20250718-143500.xml</code>). 
– Counts URLs (before and after) and shows a live AJAX notice with the difference. 
– Works with all public post types (Posts, Pages, CPTs). 
– Loads scripts only on the plugin page for a lean, clean admin.
No settings. No bloat. Just click and done.
<h3>Why This Plugin?</h3>
Unlike bulky SEO plugins (Yoast, AIOSEO, RankMath), Instant Sitemap does only one thing – and does it fast. 
It’s perfect for developers, minimalists, or anyone who just wants a quick, static sitemap for Google & Bing.

Admin Menu Search is a simple plugin that adds a search box filter to the top of the Admin Menu in the WordPress Dashboard. No more scrolling up and down or using your browser’s Ctrl+F or Find function to locate menu items.
Just enter a few characters in the Search Menus field and the Admin Menu will be trimmed down to only the items that match your search.
Submenus are also included in the search, so if you’re looking for “Widgets” it will keep the “Appearance” menu in the list because Widgets lives under Appearance / Widgets.

Admin Menu Search

Nice plugin


Doesn't handle top admin menu or trimming submenus.  It also doesn't remove dividers.


OK but online handles left side top level


I wish more plugin authors had herchen's keep-it-simple sense of software aesthetics. No notice boxes, zero config, does one thing and does it well. Thanks!


Useful and unobtrusive
