XML sitemaps
An auto-generated sitemap index plus one sitemap per content type, kept in sync as you publish.
4 min read
Seofyme generates a sitemap index at /sitemap_index.xml that links out to one sitemap per content type — posts, pages, and any public custom post type — so search engines can discover and prioritize your content without you maintaining anything by hand.
What's included
- Published posts, pages, and public custom post types
- Last-modified timestamps, so crawlers know what changed since their last visit
- Automatic exclusion of noindexed or password-protected content

If the sitemap 404s right after installing, go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save Changes to flush WordPress's rewrite rules.
Sitemaps work alongside IndexNow, which actively pings search engines the moment content changes, instead of waiting for the next crawl of the sitemap.
