Features

With phpSitemapNG you can generate Google Sitemaps with the built-in crawler engine and with a filesystem scan. More features are described here.

Current features

  • Scans files on local file system (fast, but only finds files that physically exists)
  • Scans files on website (slower, but will also find dynamic generated files and links)
  • Set filter for file and directory names that will not be scanned.
  • Reads the last modification time and sets the change frequency accordingly.
  • You can specifiy the intial (fixed) priority of each page.
  • Create a sitemap.xml file and submit this url to google.
  • Set information to your needs (for each file): enable/disable a file, change last modification time, change frequency, priority
  • All settings (also for files) will be stored and are used for further runs
  • You can run this script with cron - run it on a regular basis automatically in the background
  • Compress the generated sitemap file with gzip
  • Store and send cookies (e.g. for sessions)
  • base tag support
