## Description

VB Sitemap Generator creates XML sitemaps dynamically with caching and without unnecessary
overhead.

Features:
 * Sitemap index: /vb-sitemap.xml * Sharded main sitemaps: /vb-sitemap-
main-_.xml * Image sitemap: /vb-sitemap-images-.xml * Includes public posts, pages,
and public custom post types * Includes images in main sitemap entries * Publish-
only URLs * Respects noindex * Uses post\_modified\_gmt for lastmod * Robots.txt
integration

The plugin follows modern XML sitemap standards and avoids deprecated elements like
changefreq and priority.
