Sitemaps

Cybermaps builds a configurable sitemap index and provider inventory from eligible WordPress resources.

Core output

  • Numbered post-type and taxonomy children
  • Author, archive, and miscellaneous URL providers
  • Google News output when enabled
  • Optional RSS 2.0 output
  • Image and video extensions
  • External sitemap references
  • Dynamic ETag and 304 Not Modified responses
  • Browser-readable XSL preview

The default index is /sitemap.xml. Internal children are chunked at 2,000 URLs.

External sitemap references

Cybermaps references an external sitemap; it does not copy or claim ownership of the file.

Each configured URL must:

  • use HTTP or HTTPS;
  • end in .xml; and
  • respond successfully to a bounded wp_safe_remote_head() validation.

Validation uses a three-second timeout and follows at most two redirects. The configured destination receives the WordPress server’s ordinary HTTP request metadata.

Resource controls

Per-resource controls can exclude a resource or supply publisher priority and change-frequency hints. Priority archetypes are configurable presets based on simple site counts. They are not search-quality or ranking scores.

HTML sitemap

[cybermap] renders a human-facing HTML sitemap separately from XML output. It supports list, columns, and bare layouts plus post-type and taxonomy selection.

Static publication

In all mode, Cybermaps materializes the eligible sitemap index and every internal Core child advertised by that index. External references are never written as Core-owned files.

Children are written before the index so a newly published index does not advertise missing Core children.
