How Super Speedy Sitemaps differs from Slim SEO Sitemaps

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.

Slim SEO is deliberately minimal — its sitemap generation is lean by design but still uses standard WordPress query methods that share the same memory and timeout limitations of any PHP-based approach when product counts climb into the hundreds of thousands. Super Speedy Sitemaps focuses specifically on sitemap performance at that scale, using SQL-first generation that handles very large catalogues efficiently.

How to choose between Slim SEO Sitemaps and Super Speedy Sitemaps?

Slim SEO is a great no-bloat SEO plugin for most sites, but its sitemap generation shares the limitations of any PHP-based approach when product counts grow large. Super Speedy Sitemaps is built for exactly that scenario — SQL-first, one-million-product tested, free trial available.

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.)
