This OpenCart extension helps you to create XML sitemaps fully compliant with all Google requirements without any effort, which lets you improve the crawlability of your stores, and make search engines better understand your products and website (sign-up required). The better understanding the search engines have of your content, the more confident they are showing it to their searchers. Cuispi XML Sitemap Generator supports an unlimited number of XML sitemaps for products, categories, manufacturers, information, and custom page links. This extension has been tested on over 1 million (1,000,000) items via both web browser and the command line.

Extension features list:

• XML Sitemap Generator includes a number of features and benefits, perfect for your online store. Using this OpenCart extension, you can efficiently:
• Create an unlimited number of XML sitemaps for products, categories, manufacturers, information, and custom page links. This extension has been tested on over 1 million (1,000,000) items via both web browser and the command line
• Create advanced XML sitemaps fully compliant with all Google requirements. XML Sitemap Generator is capable of splitting sitemap contents into multiple XML Sitemap files and creating XML Sitemap index files. Accordingly, no matter how many pages your store may have, your XML sitemaps will always be in line with Google’s guidelines—which require that all formats limit a single sitemap to 50MB (uncompressed) and 50,000 URLs
• Keep all your sitemaps organized in a hierarchical (tree-based) structure
• Create the sitemaps that include product URLs in all languages from all your stores (multi-stores) that you want to cover
• Create the sitemaps that include category/subcategory URLs and the product URLs belonging to them in all languages from all your stores (multi-stores) that you want to cover
• Create the sitemaps that include manufacturer URLs and the product URLs belonging to them in all languages from all your stores (multi-stores) that you want to cover
• Create the sitemaps that include information URLs in all languages from all your stores (multi-stores) that you want to cover
• Create the sitemaps that include any other page URLs from all your stores (multi-stores) that you want to cover
• Even create sitemaps that include a large number of URLs (tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of URLs, or even more)
• Set , , and a maximum number of URLs generated in a single sitemap
• Add hreflang for language and regional URLs to product, category, manufacturer, and information sitemaps
• Use XSL stylesheets to make your sitemaps and sitemap indexes human readable
• Set a custom width and height to the images in XML sitemap files
• Automate the process of generating sitemaps with your command-line interface (CLI) and a cron job/Windows Task Scheduler job. Please note that this extension provides only PHP methods to be executed via CLI. At the time of writing (December 2017), since OpenCart lacks a feature of executing PHP code through the command line by default, it is required to add CLI support to your OpenCart in order to run the PHP methods provided by the XML Sitemap Generator extension. If you don't have any CLI functionality added to your OpenCart yet, we recommend that you use iSenseLabs' oc_cli extension (OpenCart 2.2.x-2.3.x compatible, as of December 2017) available at https://github.com/iSenseLabs/oc_cli. Also the OpenCart 3.0.x compatible version is available at https://github.com/cuispi/oc_cli_mod
• Ensure data consistency and accuracy using file locking, allowing only one process to generate XML sitemaps in a specific time
• Optionally change the default location of the sitemap folder (catalog/view/sitemap) to any location you like within your OpenCart installation
• Use this extension together with Multilingual SEO Toolkit (version 4.0.0 or later)
• Create your own admin language files by copying and translating the original ones. Defaults to English (en-gb/english)

System requirements:

This guide covers detailed system requirements for a XML Sitemap Generator installation.

• PHP 5.3.x or later
• MySQL 5.1.x or later

Note that if you want to create a large number of URLs (tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of URLs, or even more) in a single process, the following must be taken into consideration:

• The max_execution_time in your php.ini must be changeable through the ini_set() function.
• In PHP 5.3.x, the Safe Mode must be turned off.
• The max_execution_time becomes effective only when running a script from a web server (e.g., via web browser). When running the script from the command line or a cron job, the default setting is 0 (unlimited).
• Your web server can have other timeout configurations that may also interrupt PHP execution. Apache has a Timeout directive and IIS has a CGI timeout function. Both default to 300 seconds. See your web server documentation or ask your web hosting company for specific details.
