How Super Speedy Sitemaps differs from Simple Sitemap

All plugins from Super Speedy Plugins share a SQL-first architecture and an uncompromising focus on performance — and Super Speedy Sitemaps is no different. Here is what sets it apart:

When a large sitemap is generated on demand, crawlers can hit a timeout instead of your URLs. Super Speedy Sitemaps splits large post sitemaps, caches generated files on disk and serves one index for search engines to follow.

How to choose between Simple Sitemap and Super Speedy Sitemaps?

Scale is where most plugins start to struggle, and exactly where Super Speedy Sitemaps was designed to thrive. Unlike Simple Sitemap, every Super Speedy Sitemaps release is stress-tested against a one-million-product WooCommerce store before it reaches your server. If your load times have been creeping upwards as your catalogue grows, migration is simpler than you might fear — and a free trial means you can confirm the improvement on staging before making any commitment.

1.10.1 (20th May 2026)

Updated the Super Speedy Settings page: added a "Recheck Licenses" button above the licence table so customers have a clear way to refresh licence status after a renewal or upgrade without scrolling down to the licence-key field. The button is disabled until a licence key is entered/saved and re-enables as you type.
The Recheck flow now also force-bypasses the auth-server's own 1-hour licence cache (via a `force=1` flag on the `wpiapi/check_product_key` call), so renewals/upgrades that completed less than an hour before a recheck no longer show as expired/exceeded. Normal admin page loads continue to use both caches as before — only an explicit Recheck click bypasses them. (Lives in the `super-speedy-settings` submodule, so the change propagates to every Super Speedy plugin.)
