<h4>Matt Cutts on HTML Sitemaps</h4>
<p>When Matt Cutts (Head of Google’s Webspam Team) was asked, what is more important: “A XML sitemap or an HTML sitemap?” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi5DGOu1uA0" rel="nofollow ugc">YouTube Webmaster Tools Video</a> Matt answered a HTML sitemap. HTML sitemaps help both users and search engine crawlers. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5LIlkhxl2s" rel="nofollow ugc">“It is always useful to have a HTML sitemap…”</a>.</p>

<p>Note: The <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/" rel="ugc">WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin</a> is NOT required in order to use this plugin. But this plugin does take full advantage of all settings related to the XML sitemap settings.</p>
<h4>Known oversights:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Author Roles filtering, I do not have it setup to be able to filter out author roles.</li>
<li>The posts are sorted by name and may not show if a specific Category is selected to not show in the sitemap XML settings in Yoast.</li>
</ul>


WP SEO HTML Sitemap

Really useful plugin, and the CSS bundled with it does not override your basic styling (like so many other plugins do!)



Works well even with a large amount of content

A responsive HTML sitemap that uses all of the settings for your XML sitemap in the WordPress SEO by Yoast Plugin.
