Optimise sitemap.xml for large-weight sites [#2660382]

Firstly thanks for this great module. We are running large-weight newspaper company. Our sitemap.xml getting large and large and seo results complains from that. Is there any solution for those three options.

1- Divide it for more pages. For example:

<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<sitemap>
<loc>http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml?page=1</loc>
<lastmod>2016-01-30T07:33Z</lastmod>
</sitemap>
<sitemap>
<loc>http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml?page=2</loc>
<lastmod>2016-01-30T07:33Z</lastmod>
</sitemap>
<sitemap>
<strong><loc>http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml?page=3</loc></strong>
<lastmod>2016-01-30T07:33Z</lastmod>
</sitemap>
<sitemap>
<strong><loc>http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml?page=4</loc></strong>
<lastmod>2016-01-30T07:33Z</lastmod>
</sitemap>
..
..
..
</sitemapindex>

2- Or categorize sitemap based on catagories. For example:

<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<sitemap>
<loc>http://www.example.com/sport/sitemap.xml</loc>
<lastmod>2016-01-30T07:33Z</lastmod>
</sitemap>
<sitemap>
<loc>http://www.example.com/life/sitemap.xml?page=2</loc>
<lastmod>2016-01-30T07:33Z</lastmod>
</sitemap>
<sitemap>
<loc>http://www.example.com/computes/sitemap.xml?page=3</loc>
<lastmod>2016-01-30T07:33Z</lastmod>
</sitemap>
..
..
..
</sitemapindex>

3- Or categorize by date. For example:

<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<sitemap>
<loc>http://www.example.com/<strong>2015_12</strong>/sitemap.xml</loc>
<lastmod>2016-01-30T07:33Z</lastmod>
</sitemap>
<sitemap>
<loc>http://www.example.com/<strong>2016_1</strong>/sitemap.xml?page=2</loc>
<lastmod>2016-01-30T07:33Z</lastmod>
</sitemap>
<sitemap>
<strong><loc>http://www.example.com/<strong>2016_2</strong>/sitemap.xml?page=3</loc></strong>
<lastmod>2016-01-30T07:33Z</lastmod>
</sitemap>
..
..
..
</sitemapindex>

I would love to see the possibility to create multiple sitemaps.

These could be categorised by node-type, by language and/or by taxonomy-term.

Hi There.

Have you found any solution for taxonomy based index page?
Please update I am still struggling to achieve this feature.

Thanks

@Avanish12,

No, I haven't been able to create taxonomy-based sidemaps with xml-sitemap-module. You could do this though with views or by creating a manual sitemap module.
