The XML Sitemaps plugin for WordPress will automatically generate XML Sitemaps for your site and notify search engines when they’re updated.
Contrary to other plugins that generate sitemap files, this one will add a rewrite rule and store your cached sitemaps in the wp-content/sitemaps folder.
The XML Sitemaps plugin automatically assigns the rate of updates and the weight based on statistics collected on your site.
Pings occur automatically, on an hourly basis, if the sitemap file is updated.
Lastly, and contrary to the zillions of plugins that try to do the same as this one, this plugin will use the WP internals to determine the number of blog, category and tag pages on your site. This means it’ll play well with the likes of custom query string or <a href="http://www.semiologic.com/software/sem-seo/" rel="nofollow ugc">Semiologic SEO</a>.
<h4>Configuration</h4>
Starting with version 2.0 there is now the ability to control the inclusion or exclusion of date archives (years and months), author, category and tags pages in your sitemap.
Additionally specific pages can also be excluded by entering their page IDs.
Go to Settings->XML Sitemaps to update settings.
<h4>Help Me!</h4>

XML Sitemaps

Works well and the code behind it is simple.
I would like to contribute to this plugin. Please contact me about how I can get you my update that adds AMP pages.



Good and simple.

Automatically generates XML Sitemaps for your site and notifies search engines when they're updated.

Xagio SEO – AI Powered SEO


Look, I've spent years in the SEO trenches and tested pretty much every tool out there. Xagio SEO caught me off guard - in a good way. The AI analysis isn't just fluff - it spots real ranking opportunities I would've missed. Love how the schema stuff is automated (because who enjoys coding that manually?), and the rank tracking is spot-on.



The Niche Hunter? That's my secret weapon now. Found some killer low-competition keywords that are already paying off. Best part is everything's in one place - no more tab-hopping between 5 different tools.



Not gonna lie, I was skeptical at first (aren't we all?), but this plugin delivers. If you're serious about SEO but hate unnecessary complexity, give it a shot. ★★★★★
