The plugin will now exclude from sitemaps:

‘;
echo ‘
• URLs with AMP parameters (?amp=1, &amp=1)

‘;
echo ‘

• URLs with noamp parameters (?noamp=mobile, &noamp=mobile)

‘;
echo ‘

• Product copy URLs (/product/*-copy/)

‘;
echo ‘

• Old shop URLs that redirect incorrectly

‘;
echo ‘

• Utility pages (installers, fixers, etc.)

‘;
echo ‘

‘;
echo ‘

This will clean up your sitemap and help Google focus on the correct URLs.

• Parameter-based URLs (AMP, noamp)

‘;
echo ‘

• Duplicate product URLs

‘;

• Old shop URLs that cause redirects

‘;

• Utility pages created for fixes

This helps Google focus on crawling only the correct, canonical URLs.
