Sitemap Generator Pro for PrestaShop

Key features and capabilities

Sitemap generation

• 11 sitemap types — products, categories, CMS pages, manufacturers, suppliers, meta pages, product images, and 4 supported blog modules: SmartBlog, PH SimpleBlog, ETS Blog, Functional Blog
• Image sitemaps — separate sitemaps with the full collection of product images, including attribute variant images
• Products with attribute combinations — generation of separate URLs for each product combination (optional)
• GZ compression — automatic compression of sitemap files to .xml.gz format, reducing size by 80–90%
• Chunking — automatic splitting of large sitemaps into files of 10,000 URLs each (800 with attributes) with a sitemap index
• Dry-run — preview of the generation result without creating files (estimate of the number of URLs and files)
• XML validation — built-in validator checking the compliance of generated files with the XML sitemap schema

Multilang and hreflang

• Hreflang with x-default — automatic alternate language tags with x-default support for multilingual stores
• Separate sitemaps per language — each store+language combination generates a separate sitemap file
• Language variants of URLs — full support for alternative URLs per language within a single sitemap entry

Quality filtering and exclusions

• Filtering non-indexable items — skipping products marked as "not for indexing", hidden, and redirected
• Exclusions per ID — manual exclusion of specific products, categories, CMS pages, manufacturers, and suppliers by ID
• URL patterns — exclusion of URLs matching regex patterns (e.g. /test/*, /admin/*)
• Excluding meta pages — selective skipping of chosen meta page types (homepage, categories, manufacturers, etc.)
• Signature-based deduplication — automatic detection and elimination of duplicate URLs based on content signatures
• Filtering statistics — detailed report on how many items were filtered out and why

Smart Lastmod — modification tracking

• Change tracking via hooks — 20 database hooks monitor the addition, editing, and deletion of products, categories, CMS pages, manufacturers, and suppliers
• Precise modification dates — separate database table with the exact timestamp of the last change for each entity
• Two lastmod modes — "accurate only" mode (accurate_only) or "with fallback" mode (legacy_fallback — uses date_upd when tracking is unavailable)
• Per-shop tracking — separate modification tracking for each store in multistore

Google Search Console integration

• OAuth 2.0 authorization — secure authorization with Google with automatic token refresh
• Automatic sitemap submission — after generation, sitemaps are automatically submitted to Search Console
• Property mapping — assignment of each store to the appropriate service in Google Search Console
• Connection status — visual information about the authorization status and the last sitemap submission

IndexNow protocol

• Instant notification — notifying search engines (Bing, Yandex, Naver) about new and changed URLs in real time
• URL queue — queue system with automatic batch flush to the IndexNow API
• Auto-generated key — cryptographically secure key with automatic synchronization of the verification file
• Retry logic — mechanism for retrying failed submissions with status and error tracking

robots.txt management

• Three operating modes — disabled, manual (custom path), or automatic (hook on saving robots.txt in PrestaShop)
• Automatic Sitemap entries — adding Sitemap directives to robots.txt with BEGIN/END block marking
• Clean removal — upon uninstall, the module automatically removes its block from robots.txt

Asynchronous generation and CRON

• CRON generation — endpoint with a security token to trigger generation from the server schedule
• Pause and resume — ability to pause and resume long-running generation without losing progress
• Generation logs — full operation history with the number of files, validation status, size, and duration
• Selective generation — ability to generate sitemaps only for selected stores, languages, or entity types

Admin panel

• Dashboard with KPIs — metrics: number of selected stores, languages, map types, generated files
• 4 configuration tabs — Scope (stores/languages/categories), Signals and metadata, Quality rules and exclusions, Discovery and integrations
• Generation panel — batch generation controls with progress preview
• Quality overview — filtering statistics and URL quality metrics
• Links to XML files — direct links to generated sitemaps and indexes
• Operation history — logs of all generations and validations with results
