This location is fully compatible with Google Search Console and most SEO tools.

⚙️ How It Works

1. On each frontend request, the plugin checks if sitemap.xml exists.
2. If it doesn’t exist → it generates a fresh sitemap.
3. If it exists → the plugin checks the file age.
4. If older than 24 hours → it regenerates the sitemap.
5. Otherwise → nothing happens (fast execution).

🔧 Installation

1. Download the ZIP package from the Releases page.
2. In Joomla Administrator, go to: System → Extensions → Install
3. Upload and install the plugin.
4. Go to: System → Manage → Plugins
5. Search for DC Sitemap
6. Enable the plugin.
