XML sitemaps generated by the Yoast SEO WordPress plugin, one of the most popular sitemap generators.
Yoast SEO is the most popular WordPress SEO plugin (12M+ installations) and includes a comprehensive sitemap generator. When enabled, it generates sitemaps at `/sitemap_index.xml` and disables WordPress's built-in sitemap.
Yoast creates separate sitemaps for posts, pages, categories, tags, authors, and custom post types. It also generates specialized sitemaps for images. Each sitemap contains up to 1,000 URLs by default.
Yoast automatically adds the `Sitemap:` directive to the virtual robots.txt and submits sitemaps to search engines via ping. The sitemap settings can be customized through Yoast's admin interface.
SitemapKit's API lets you discover, extract, and parse XML sitemaps from any domain. Get structured JSON data with all sitemap elements including Yoast SEO Sitemap.
