vectormapper

<p><strong>Smart Sitemap Lite by VectorMap</strong> is a lightweight XML sitemap generator designed for real-world content-heavy sites.</p>
<p>The plugin extracts full image metadata from the WordPress Media Library.</p>
<p>This means search engines receive the actual SEO data you entered:<br />
– image titles<br />
– ALT texts<br />
– captions<br />
– descriptions</p>
<p>Most sitemap plugins only insert the file name — Smart Sitemap Lite includes real metadata.</p>
<p>It focuses on three things:</p>
<ul>
<li>clean, predictable sitemap URLs;</li>
<li>separation of content types (posts, pages, products, taxonomies, images);</li>
<li>fast generation with minimal overhead, even on large archives.</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin does <strong>not</strong> try to be an all-in-one SEO suite.<br />
It does one job: provides search engines with a clear map of your content.</p>
<h3>Key features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Generates a main <strong>sitemap index</strong> with links to child sitemaps.</li>
<li>Separate sitemaps for:
<ul>
<li>posts</li>
<li>pages</li>
<li>custom post types (including WooCommerce products)</li>
<li>taxonomies (categories, tags, custom taxonomies – if enabled)</li>
<li>images attached to posts and products</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Includes rich image metadata:
<ul>
<li> is taken from the WordPress media title</li>
<li> from the attachment caption</li>
<li> from the ALT text (if present)</li>
<li> from the media description</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Works out of the box with most themes and page builders.</li>
<li>Minimal, clear settings page.</li>
<li>No frontend output, no shortcodes needed.</li>
<li>Respects WordPress visibility rules (drafts, private posts, noindexed content etc. are not included).</li>
<li>Compatible with major SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO).<br />
You can use Smart Sitemap Lite as the primary sitemap or as an additional technical sitemap.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How it works</h3>
<p>After activation, the plugin registers a standard sitemap index URL:</p>
<p>https://example.com/sitemap_index.xml</p>
<p>This index contains links to all child sitemaps (posts, pages, products, taxonomies, images).</p>
<p>Search engines discover this index either from:</p>
<ul>
<li>a direct ping, or</li>
<li>submission in Google Search Console / Bing Webmaster Tools, or</li>
<li>a link from <code>robots.txt</code> (you can add it manually).</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin uses standard WordPress APIs to fetch content and generate XML, so it respects your existing visibility logic and caching.</p>
<h3>Who is it for?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Site owners who need <strong>a clear technical sitemap</strong> without a full SEO suite.</li>
<li>Stores and catalogues with many products or images.</li>
<li>Developers and agencies who want a predictable, debuggable sitemap structure.</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin is built and tested on real-world sites with thousands of attachments and products.</p>

<p>Amit Indexing Engine helps WordPress site owners get their pages discovered by search engines faster.</p>
<p>Google allows approximately 10 URL indexing requests per day. If you have 250 pages, that means 25 days of manual work. This plugin automates the notification process.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Auto-submits 10 URLs daily at 3 AM via WordPress cron</li>
<li>Smart priority system (service pages submitted before blog posts)</li>
<li>One-click bulk submit all URLs to IndexNow</li>
<li>Auto-publish detection (new content submitted on publish)</li>
<li>URL tracker dashboard with status management</li>
<li>Supports all custom post types</li>
<li>Works with any WordPress theme</li>
<li>No external accounts or API keys required</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<p>The plugin notifies search engines about your pages through official, search-engine-approved channels. It uses the IndexNow protocol to notify Bing, Yandex, Seznam, and Naver, and pings Google and Bing sitemap endpoints. Submitting a URL does not guarantee indexing; search engines decide when and whether to index based on content quality and crawl budget.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the following third-party services to notify search engines about your URLs. No user data or personal information is transmitted. The only data sent is your publicly accessible sitemap URL and your publicly accessible page URLs.</p>
<h4>IndexNow API</h4>
<p>This plugin sends your page URLs to the IndexNow API at <code>api.indexnow.org</code> to notify participating search engines (Bing, Yandex, Seznam, Naver) about new or updated content on your site. This happens when you click the submit buttons or when the daily auto-scheduler runs.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service provider: IndexNow (open protocol by Microsoft and Yandex)</li>
<li>Data sent: Your site’s hostname, a verification key, and a list of your public page URLs</li>
<li>When data is sent: On manual submit, on daily cron schedule, and on new post publish</li>

<h4>Google Sitemap Ping</h4>
<p>This plugin sends your sitemap URL to Google’s ping endpoint at <code>google.com/ping</code> to notify Google that your sitemap has been updated.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service provider: Google LLC</li>
<li>Data sent: Your publicly accessible sitemap URL</li>
<li>When data is sent: On manual ping, on daily cron schedule, and on new post publish</li>
<li><a href="https://policies.google.com/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Terms of Service</a></li>

<h4>Bing Sitemap Ping</h4>

<ul>
<li>Service provider: Microsoft Corporation</li>
<li>Data sent: Your publicly accessible sitemap URL</li>
<li>When data is sent: On manual ping and on daily cron schedule</li>
