Magento 2 XML Sitemap Extension

Flexible Sitemap Structure

The extension provides complete flexibility in organizing your XML sitemaps. Create a standard sitemap that includes all entities in one file, generate separate sitemaps for individual entity types (products, categories, CMS pages, additional links), or build custom combinations based on your SEO strategy. This granular control allows you to optimize how search engines discover and crawl different sections of your site.

Canonical URLs for Better SEO

Using canonical URLs in your XML sitemap ensures search engines index the correct version of each page. The extension automatically uses canonical page URLs, eliminating duplicate content issues. For optimal results, we recommend using this extension together with the Magento 2 Canonical URL Extension.

Rich Media Content

Enhance your sitemaps with visual content that helps search engines better understand your products and categories. The extension allows you to include product and category images, as well as product videos. You can choose to add all product images or just the main product image, and select whether to use cached or original images.

Smart Content Filtering

Keep your sitemaps clean and relevant with intelligent filtering options. Automatically exclude Out Of Stock products to prevent search engines from indexing unavailable items. When used with the Magento 2 Meta Robots Extension, pages with NOINDEX directives in their Robots Meta Tag are automatically excluded from your sitemaps, ensuring full compliance with your SEO directives.

Comprehensive Statistics

Monitor the scope and content of each sitemap with detailed statistics. For every entity type, track the exact number of URLs, images, and videos included. This transparency helps you understand your sitemap coverage and identify optimization opportunities.

PageMap Structured Data

The extension adds PageMap structured data (thumbnail DataObject) to your XML sitemaps, providing search engines with additional context about your pages. This enhanced metadata can improve how your content appears in search results.

Automated Generation

Save time and ensure your sitemaps stay current with automated generation. Configure the extension to automatically generate sitemaps on a schedule using cron jobs. Your sitemaps will always reflect your latest content without manual intervention.

Command-Line Management

For developers and advanced users, the extension includes CLI commands for complete sitemap management. View a list of all sitemaps, generate specific sitemaps by ID, or delete outdated sitemaps - all from the command line. Run commands for specific sitemaps using their IDs, or execute operations across all sitemaps at once.

Seamless Integration

The XML Sitemap Extension works seamlessly with other SEO tools in your Magento 2 store. It's fully compatible with the Magento 2 Canonical URL Extension and Magento 2 Meta Robots Extension.
