FAQ
-
What is an XML sitemap?
-
An XML sitemap is a file that lists a website’s essential pages, making sure search engines can find and crawl them efficiently.
-
Where can I find my sitemap?
-
Once enabled, your sitemap can be found at
yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml. -
Does WordPress already have a sitemap?
-
Yes, WordPress has a basic core sitemap. This plugin gracefully replaces the core functionality to provide greater control, inclusion/exclusion rules, and image support.
-
Can I use this with WooCommerce?
-
Absolutely. If WooCommerce is installed, Products and Product Taxonomies will automatically appear as selectable options in the settings.
-
Does this plugin guarantee Google indexing?
