Key Features:
-
Separate Sitemaps for Images and Videos:
Create individual sitemaps for images and videos to enhance their visibility. -

Easily toggle the generation of sitemaps for images and videos via the admin dashboard. -
Customizable Sitemap Filenames:

Seamless Yoast SEO Integration:

Why Use This Plugin?
While Yoast SEO provides a media sitemap, it doesn’t allow separate links for images or videos. Our plugin fills this gap by offering independent sitemaps for each type of media, ensuring better SEO coverage and more targeted search engine indexing.
Advanced Feature:
Even with Yoast SEO’s media sitemap options enabled, this plugin generates independent sitemaps for better control and optimization of your media assets.
