BotsMap – XML Sitemap Manager

BotsMap is a lightweight, privacy-first sitemap management plugin that gives you full control over which XML sitemaps are visible to search engine bots. Designed for transparency and simplicity, it helps you manage indexing rules without bloated features or hidden tracking. Perfect for site owners who value ethical SEO and want to decide exactly what crawlers can see.

Perfect for excluding sensitive, temporary, or low-value content from search engine indexing — without relying on third-party SEO plugins.

Key Features:

✅ Individual Post Exclusion: Easily remove any single post or page.

✅ Crawl Budget Optimization: Automatically prunes low-value URLs (like empty archives or thin content) before a bot even attempts to visit them.

✅ Archive Control: Turn off indexing for author, or category archives.

✅ Smart WooCommerce Filtering: Prevent “Out of Stock” or “Hidden” products from diluting your search presence.

✅ Zero-Bloat Execution: All crawl management logic runs at the server level with zero impact on your front-end PageSpeed scores.

Give search engines a cleaner, more direct path to your valuable content.
