## Опис

BotsMap is a lightweight, privacy-first sitemap management plugin that gives you
full control over which XML sitemaps are visible to search engine bots. Designed
for transparency and simplicity, it helps you manage indexing rules without bloated
features or hidden tracking. Perfect for site owners who value ethical SEO and want
to decide exactly what crawlers can see.

Perfect for excluding sensitive, temporary, or low-value content from search engine
indexing — without relying on third-party SEO plugins.

Key Features:

✅ Individual Post Exclusion: Easily remove any single post or page.

✅ Crawl Budget Optimization: Automatically prunes low-value URLs (like empty archives
or thin content) before a bot even attempts to visit them.

✅ Archive Control: Turn off indexing for author, or category archives.

✅ Smart WooCommerce Filtering: Prevent “Out of Stock” or “Hidden” products from
diluting your search presence.

✅ Zero-Bloat Execution: All crawl management logic runs at the server level with
zero impact on your front-end PageSpeed scores.

Give search engines a cleaner, more direct path to your valuable content.

### Privacy

This plugin does not set cookies or track individual users.

third‑party search engines (such as Google and Bing) to improve site indexing and
visibility. No personal data is collected, stored, or transmitted by this plugin.

Site owners should be aware that search engines may process the sitemap data according
to their own privacy policies.

## Часті питання

### Does this work with custom post types?

Yes, but not for individual custom posts.

### Does this affect Yoast or Rank Math sitemaps?

No. This plugin only modifies WordPress’s native sitemap. For third-party SEO plugins,
use their built-in filters.

### Where is the sitemap located?

WordPress\’s default sitemap is available at `/wp-sitemap.xml`.

### Does this plugin create new sitemaps?

No. It works with existing WordPress or SEO plugin sitemaps and lets you control
which ones are visible to search engine bots.

### Will hiding a sitemap affect my SEO?

It depends on your strategy. Hiding certain sitemaps can prevent bots from indexing
unwanted content, but make sure you keep important sitemaps visible for proper search
engine coverage.

### Does the plugin store or share any user data?

No. This plugin is privacy‑friendly and does not collect, store, or transmit any
personal data.

We’ve been using this for a few weeks and it’s made a real difference. Our site 
stays fast, indexing isnoticeably better, and setup was pretty painless. Really 
happy with how well-optimized it is. One thing that would be amazing in a future
update: AI-powered features for smarter sitemap managementand security. Like auto-
generating robots.txt rules based on crawl patterns, or intelligent scraper detectionand
blocking. We’ve been dealing with aggressive scrapers lately and having that built-
in would save a tonof time. Solid tool, definitely recommend it if you’re serious
about your site’s SEO.
