The Magento 2 XML sitemap module allows admin users to include/exclude various page types, specify update frequency, set priority, and even add images to the sitemap. As a result, your Magento 2 website will be more SEO friendly, and Google robots will rapidly find the pages you want to show first.

Besides, you can add links to your sitemap: both internal and external links are supported. As for images, they can be included as well, bringing more traffic to your storefront. At the same time, all Google guidelines are followed so you can set limits on items quantity and file size per your sitemap with the help of the Magento 2 XML sitemap extension by Amasty.

Another vital feature provided by the Google XML sitemaps module is the Hreflang tag, which makes your website content displayed in the relevant language depending on the target audience. The feature is especially useful for merchants running stores in multiple regions.

Multiple sitemaps are stored in a grid, providing you with a very convenient XML sitemap management. To exclude links from a sitemap, you just need to input URLs in the general configuration or input URL keys in CMS page settings.

In Products, you can enable/disable products, Hreflang tags, images, and images titles to be included in the sitemap.
