The fastest WordPress XML Sitemap plugin available. Scales to millions of posts, products, CPTS. Sitemap Index, Multi-site support, Google News sitemap and image sitemap included.

Description

With Super Speedy Sitemaps you will no longer have to worry about the 50,000 URL limit or the time it takes for a sitemap to be generated. This plugin is fast, consumes far less resource and can be extended via your very own modules (yes, no hooks needed!).

This plugin has been forked from the Better XML Sitemap plugin, security holes fixed and perfomance improved even further.

Installation

No need to deactivate or disable other sitemap generators, e.g. this can work with Yoast or Rank Math SEO plugins
Install the plugin like you always install plugins, either by uploading it via FTP or by using the "Add Plugin" function of WordPress.
Activate the plugin on the plugin administration page
Open the settings page from wp-admin > Super Speedy Sitemaps and configure how you wish then click to view your sitemap index
