XML Sitemap Pro for OpenCart 4.x — Clean, Fast & Search-Engine Ready

Most OpenCart 4 stores still rely on the default “Sitemap” page, which is designed for humans, not crawlers.
This free extension solves that beautifully by generating proper XML sitemaps that Google, Bing, and every major search engine understands.

No hacks. No modifications. 100% events-free, lightweight, and fully compliant with OC4’s architecture.
Just install, enable, and your store instantly produces real XML sitemaps.

✔ Key Features

• Multilingual Support

• Fully automated, SEO-friendly XML sitemaps
Creates proper .xml sitemap files that search engines expect, including change frequency and timestamps.

• Split sitemap structure (Best for SEO & large stores)
Generates multiple cleanly organised sitemaps:

• sitemap.xml — master index
• sitemap-products.xml — all products
• sitemap-categories.xml — all categories
• sitemap-blog.xml — optional - all blog categories and articles
• sitemap-manufacturers.xml — optional
• sitemap-information.xml — optional

• Optional image support
Include primary product/category/manufacturer images for enhanced visibility in Google Images.
(Turn on only if you want it — fully optional.)

• Exclude individual categories
A beautiful expandable category tree lets you hide any category (and its children) from the sitemap.

• No OCMOD / no core edits
Safe for all stores. Plays nicely with all themes and other extensions.

• Real-time generation
Always up to date — any change to products, categories, or information pages appears instantly in the sitemap.

• Simple, clean admin panel
Enable/disable with one switch. Choose what to include. Copy-ready .htaccess rules included.
