What is optimal sitemap for large website

[Michael.Leonard]

My website is having more than 3500 posts. Please let me know what sitemap plugin I need to use for the website and what is the best practice for it?

Hi Michael,

We like all in one SEO, but have also used Yoast and lots of people swear by that plugin. I see you have yoast set up are you having issues with the it not including URL's?

If you are finding your site is too big for either, look into pro sitemaps. It's a paid service, but crawls pretty deep and is automatic so it will keep your sitemap up to date. The initial setup is a bit involved but once set up and providing an decent indexation rate very little tweaking is involved.

We have over 70.000 posts and are having 0 issues with the sitemaps part of the Yoast plugin. So I would really recommend going with that one.
