A few of the hundreds of real reviews
about our plugins on wordpress.org

We had a problem with the images from our website not being in the sitemap. WP Grim took care of the problem for us. Thank you.

Easy Sitemap Generator

I have replaced the Yoast sitemaps with this simpler sitemap plugin because I wanted control over my sitemap contents.

For a non WordPress savvy type like myself, it resolves problems for those who want to write posts and not deal with technical stuff.

Absolutely perfect for a site with many products in many languages. I use 8 languages translated in WPML with about 3000 products.

I downloaded the plugin because of the ability to rename the sitemap. Why there is no such function in ordinary SEO plugins is a question!

I really like this plugin, it’s simple, efficient, and lightweight. No issue with submitting the sitemap to Google Search Console. Google News sitemap is a nice add-on.
