FAQs
Do I need extra plugins to use Google News Sitemaps?
No. Google News Sitemaps ships inside WBP Omni SEO Pro. One install, one license, one settings screen — no add-ons, no per-site fees, no upsell walls.
Will Google News Sitemaps slow down my WordPress site?
No. Every module runs on demand, caches its output, and defers non-critical work to the background queue. On a shared host with 512 MB RAM we still see sub-200 ms TTFB after activation.
Does Google News Sitemaps work with my existing SEO plugin?
Yes — a one-click importer pulls titles, descriptions, redirects, and schema from Rank Math, Yoast, SEOPress, and AIOSEO. You can run WBP alongside them during the switch, then deactivate the old plugin when you're ready.
