About the Company

Joomlashack was founded the day after Joomla started, all the way back in 2005. We’ve created and acquired a large collection of Joomla extensions over the years. We also have easy-to-use Joomla templates and the most popular Joomla training in the world.

So you can be sure that if you use our sitemap generator, you have a solid company behind you to support you.

FAQs:

What is a Sitemap?

A sitemap is a collection of links on your website. It creates an index that helps Google and other search engines to find your content.

Why does Google need a sitemap of your site?

It doesn’t need it, but it is very helpful to Google. With your Joomla sitemap enabled, Google knows exactly what links/pages are on the site. And it’s all in one place, ordered and in a format that’s very SEO-friendly. Therefore, Google doesn’t have to transverse your entire site looking for pages.

What are the benefits of sitemaps?

The biggest benefit to a sitemap is that your content gets added to Google quickly. With our sitemap, it is able to add your new pages in hours or days rather than weeks or months.

Why is it free? What’s the catch?

There is no catch. We want you to use and love our sitemap generator. You’re free to use it on as many sites as you want. We make our money by selling some extra features (like caching) in the Pro version. But you have everything you need in the Free version to create a professional Joomla sitemap.

What are the Technical Requirements?

Joomla 3 and PHP 5.6+.

How can I install your sitemap generator?

Download the latest version of OSMap
Go to your Joomla administrator
Extensions -> Manage -> Install
Upload OSMap and click the Install button

How can I upgrade to the latest version?

We integrate with Joomla’s update manager. You can update from your admin area by going to Extensions -> Manage -> Update, select OSMap, and click the update button.

That’s it! Nice and easy.

Alternatively, upgrading manually is the same steps as installing and everything will automatically be upgraded for you.

Can I use your sitemap generator in commercial projects?

Yes, our sitemap generator is licensed under the GPL. So you can use it in personal and commercial project, including in your client projects.

Can I see a demo of the generated sitemaps?

Yes, we have a demo page for both the XML sitemap and the HTML sitemap.

Where can I get support?

Use our contact form and one of our team will reply promptly. We pride ourselves on our support.

Great extension

Richard Rivette (1).
Posted on 18 June 2019

Functionality

I love how quickly OSMap was implemented. It renders all types of files needed to post your sitemap in the website and submit for search.

Ease of use

Very simple to install and easy to configure. Novices can do it with patience.

Support

I should have read the documents better. I found the Extension but missed the Component when configuring. My fault.

Documentation

Found the XML link url after some looking. I should have read completely first.

I used this to: Made a sitemap for a website. It displays nicely in the HTML using the CSS, and the XML file was accepted by Google immediately.

OSMap - Simple and Effective

David (15).
Posted on 15 June 2019

Functionality

Simply worked! Some reviews score badly for only using the Joomla Menu system, but, Joomla is based on the menu system so it works perfectly

Ease of use

Worked straight after install. provides XML, HTML, finds New Articles/Blogs and images. A lesson in simplicity and function

Support

Not needed, but its Joomlashack and the guys are very diligent and documentation is easy to find and very clear

Documentation

Again, not needed, but the Joomlshack site is well known for clear instructions

I used this to: After this implementation I will use it for every site. It has basically now become a core function

Functionality

Extensión perfecta pare crear un mapa del sitio de cara a los motores de búsqueda

Ease of use

Fácil e intuitiva. Se puede instalar sin tener grandes conocimientos de uso de CMS y, por supuesto, sin necesidad de ser programador.

Support

Documentation

I used this to: La extensión la he usado para una web personal sencilla que no tiene mucho contenido.

Easy to use extension

Posted on 11 June 2019

Functionality

The free version has limited functionality, but that's fine as I only needed a simple site map that worked - and it does perfectly

Ease of use

Very easy to use - just tick which menu you want it to index and away it goes.

Support

I haven't needed support for extension, but have used Joomlashack support for some of their other extensions and they have always been very

Documentation

I must admit I didn't really check the documentation as it was very straightforward to install and use.

I used this to: We use OSMap Free on our school web site and it has been a useful addition for our visitors.

Disappointing software

Alpha (2).
Posted on 06 February 2019

Functionality

Bad quality, it's not compatible with many extensions As i know, it work only with 5-6 extensions. It's very expensive

Ease of use

As the documentation in non-existant, you 'll find by yourself how it work

Support

once you have buying this software, they don't want to refund your money whatever if this software is not compatible with other extensions

Documentation

Non-existant. Take care, your subscription is setting on auto-renew by default, without they inform you!

I used this to: Removed from my website, i prefer to use a site crawled sitemap, which is more useful than this kind of "software"

Owner's reply: Sometimes people leave reviews that are negative, but correct and helpful: "This is wrong. This needs fixing".

Sometimes people leave reviews where not one single word is accurate or helpful. This one of these reviews. There are so many errors in this review that I'll start at the top and work down:

- OSMap works with hundreds of extensions. It is supported by almost all the leading extension developers.
- OSMap has extensive documentation: https://www.joomlashack.com/docs/osmap/
- We have never refused a refund in 14 years. Not once, since 2015.
- We send multiple email reminders before every subscription renewal.

I'm not sure what else to say except, "Please don't be like this reviewer". OSMap isn't perfect - we love to hear helpful criticism. Contact us, please - we're always happy to help.

Saved my life when my other Site Map stopped working

Functionality

Creates HTML and XML Site Maps

Ease of use

The HTML Site Map works very well.
The XML Site Map also works well but you have to use your browser to save the content and then upload it.

Support

I got a very quick response to an e-mailed query.

Documentation

Don't really know! The method of use is very intuitive.

I used this to: Creating a browser HTML site map and an XML Site Map for use by Search Engines.

Ok but limited to menu

Francisco (2).
Posted on 18 December 2018

Functionality

Sitemap for menu only, if you have only a menu it's ok but if you have other links they won't be in the sitemap

Ease of use

Quite complicated, you must always create a menu for everything

Support

Documentation

Not recommended

Owner's reply: If you are an OSMap user, please ignore this reviewer. Their review is 100% mistaken.

Please read the description on this page. It explains how OSMap works. There is a lot of documentation to help you: https://www.joomlashack.com/docs/osmap/

In the description on this page, it explains how to contact our support. We're always happy to help: https://www.joomlashack.com/contact-us/
