Google Sitemap Feed for OpenCart

Google Sitemap Feed for OpenCart 3.x+ and 4.x+ offers a refined XML sitemap generation solution that aligns with search engine standards and SEO best practices. This extension allows OpenCart merchants to easily tailor sitemaps to include specific product pages (with images), category pages (with images), manufacturer pages, and information pages (along with CMS topics and articles), all appropriately tagged to support complete, accurate indexing by search engines. By utilizing PHP’s XMLWriter class, it securely creates standards-compliant XML sitemaps per the Sitemaps.org protocol. Furthermore, it streamlines accessibility by supporting clean, SEO-friendly URLs and proactively validating your robots.txt file, ensuring your store’s content is efficiently crawled, discovered, and prioritized by Google.

Key Features

  • Customizable Sitemap Content: Easily select which pages to include in your sitemap-such as product pages (with images), category pages (with images), manufacturer pages, and information pages (including CMS topics and CMS articles in OpenCart 4.1.0.0)-to ensure thorough indexing.
  • Standards-Compliant XML Generation: Generates a fully compliant XML sitemap using PHP’s XMLWriter class, strictly following the Sitemaps.org protocol for optimal search engine crawling.
  • Last Modified Tracking: Automatically includes the <lastmod> attribute for product and category pages, allowing search engines to track the date of your most recent updates and prioritize timely indexing.
  • SEO-Friendly URLs: Can automatically update your .htaccess file, enabling users and search engines to access sitemaps using clean URLs like /en-gb/sitemap.xml instead of the default, complex OpenCart routing format.
  • Proactive Validation: Validates your robots.txt file to verify whether the sitemap is discoverable and allowed by Google, notifying you early if any adjustments are required.
  • Webmaster Tools Compatibility: Fully compatible with commonly used webmaster platforms such as Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, and Yandex Webmaster Tools.
  • Multi-Store Support: Supports multi-store setups by default, allowing merchants to create separate sitemaps for different store views and ensuring better visibility across varied regions.
  • Comprehensive Multilingual Support: Ready for international use with built-in translations for languages including العربية (ar), فارسی (fa-ir), Български (bg), 中文(简体) (zh-cn), 中文(繁體) (zh-tw), Čeština (cs-cz), English (UK) (en-gb), English (US) (en-us), Français (fr-fr), Deutsch (de-de), Ελληνικά (el-gr), Magyar (hu-hu), Italiano (it-it), 日本語 (ja), 한국어 (ko-kr), Polski (pl-pl), Português (Brasil) (pt-br), Русский (ru-ru), Slovenčina (sk-sk), Español (es-es), and Türkçe (tr-tr).
