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.
Screenshots
XML Cache Menu & Settings.
Enable or disable XML cache for a specific post or page.
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.
The XML Cache toggle does not appear for my custom post type. What can I do?
The block editor requires the custom post type to declare support for custom-fields. If you registered the post type yourself, add it like this:
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'custom-fields' )
If the post type is registered by another plugin, you can add support in your theme’s functions.php:
add_post_type_support( 'your_post_type', 'custom-fields' );
