XML Cache

This plugin creates an XML sitemap with all posts, pages, categories, archives and tag pages, regardless of whether they are excluded from search engine indexing or not.

The advantage over a normal sitemap is that no pages are excluded from the sitemap. You can specify the XML cache sitemap in your cache plugin, such as LiteSpeed Cache, to fully warm up your website cache.

The easiest way to install XML Cache is by visiting your Plugins > Add New menu. Search for “XML Cache” and install the first result you see there.

1. Login to your WordPress dashboard
