Sitemap Lite

A sitemap that needs no configuration. It reads your post types and taxonomies, writes a valid sitemap, and never asks you a question.

OVERVIEW

No settings, on purpose.

A sitemap that needs no configuration. It reads your post types and taxonomies, writes a valid sitemap, and never asks you a question.

A sitemap has one correct answer, which is every public URL on the site with an accurate last-modified date. There is nothing to configure and no reason for a settings screen.

The whole plugin is one file of about three hundred lines. It respects noindex, excludes password-protected content, and splits into an index automatically past fifty thousand URLs.

Installed it, forgot it, still working two years later.

WHAT YOU GET

A file that answers one question.

One file

About three hundred lines of PHP with no admin screen, no options table row and no dashboard notice.

Respects exclusions

Noindex, password-protected and private content is excluded without being told to.

Automatic splitting

Past fifty thousand URLs it produces a sitemap index and splits by post type on its own.

Honest timestamps

Last-modified reflects real content edits, not a nightly regeneration touching every row.

FULL FEATURE LIST

Everything it does without asking.
