Really Simple XML and HTML Sitemap

Really Simple XML and HTML Sitemap makes it easy to generate SEO-friendly HTML and XML sitemaps for your WordPress website.

Display a customizable HTML sitemap anywhere on your website using a shortcode or the built-in Gutenberg Block. The plugin also automatically generates XML sitemaps to help search engines such as Google and Bing discover your website content.

It supports Posts, Pages, WooCommerce products, Public Custom Post Types (CPTs), and multilingual websites using WPML and Polylang. It also provides REST API endpoints for headless WordPress applications and external integrations.

Display an HTML sitemap using either:

Shortcode:

[rsxh_sitemap]

Or insert the RSXH Sitemap Gutenberg Block directly from the Block Inserter.

You can also use the shortcode in your theme templates:

<?php echo do_shortcode( '[rsxh_sitemap]' ); ?>

XML sitemap files are generated automatically and can be submitted to search engines to help them discover your website content.
