XML Cache

This plugin creates an XML sitemap with all posts, pages, categories, archives and tag pages, regardless of whether they are excluded from search engine indexing or not.

The advantage over a normal sitemap is that no pages are excluded from the sitemap. You can specify the XML cache sitemap in your cache plugin, such as LiteSpeed Cache, to fully warm up your website cache.

What is the URL to the sitemap?

The sitemap can be accessed at /cache.xml. You can also simply click on the “Open Sitemap” button in the settings to open the sitemap and copy the URL from the browser address bar.

How can I exclude posts and pages from the sitemap?

Open the post or page you want to exclude. You will find the option to disable the XML cache on the right.
