How Super Speedy Sitemaps differs from XML Sitemap and Google News
All plugins from Super Speedy Plugins share a SQL-first architecture and an uncompromising focus on performance — and Super Speedy Sitemaps is no different. Here is what sets it apart:
When a large sitemap is generated on demand, crawlers can hit a timeout instead of your URLs. Super Speedy Sitemaps splits large post sitemaps, caches generated files on disk and serves one index for search engines to follow.
XML Sitemap & Google News generates sitemaps using standard WordPress query functions, which can run into memory limits and slow generation on very large catalogues because they load full post objects through the WordPress object layer. Super Speedy Sitemaps uses direct SQL-level generation to produce sitemaps for enormous catalogues without that object-loading overhead.
How to choose between XML Sitemap and Google News and Super Speedy Sitemaps?
XML Sitemap & Google News is a reliable standard sitemap tool, but for stores with very large catalogues, SQL-first generation without full post object loading is significantly more efficient. Super Speedy Sitemaps handles that scale, tested against one-million products, with a free trial available.
