WHMCS URL Discovery & Sitemap Generation
SEO & Answer Engine Optimisation Audits
- Admin-only technical audits fetch same-site pages and classify their page types
- Check page titles, meta descriptions, canonicals, headings and schema signals
- Score technical signals and report findings without rewriting live content or theme templates
- Review practical suggestions for summaries, title/H1 alignment and structured data where appropriate
- Use the Recommendations tab to focus on findings from the latest audit run
Internal Links & Content Signals
- Identify orphaned or weakly linked pages for further review
- Inspect thin-page and duplicate-title/meta signals
- Configure how many internal links receive HEAD checks per page
- Combine page-type context, issue severity and recommendations when prioritising fixes
- Treat findings as a review list: verify the page and make content/link changes through your normal workflow
Audit & Sitemap Exclusion Rules
- Use JSON exclusion rules with audit, sitemap or both scopes
- Audit scope skips crawling; sitemap scope filters output when Apply exclusion rules to sitemap.xml is enabled
- Match exact URLs, path prefixes, path globs, query contents, page types or extensions
- Append optional WHMCS-safe audit presets for administrative and system paths
- Client-area/checkout fetching is optional and off by default; independent always-exclude settings can override it
XML Validation & Sitemap Coverage
- Check sitemap file presence, readability, size and modified time
- Parse the XML and verify the root element, URL count and absolute loc values
- Detect duplicate loc URLs and compare discovered URLs against sitemap output
- Inspect supported content tables and the audit-run table from Tools
- Use Overview for sitemap health, discovered/audited counts and headline issue signals
Browser Batches & Daily Cron
- Continue browser audits in bounded batches instead of requiring one long request
- Set browser batch size/time budget, maximum URLs per run and per-URL crawl timeout
- Enable daily cron to continue queued audit work in the background
- Configure cron URLs per invocation, time budget and an optional one-new-run-per-day setting
- Use audit locks, retry settings, response-size limits and redirect limits to control processing
Recommendations, Exports & History
- Review plain-English recommendations with severity where available
- Export audit runs as CSV or JSON for reporting and follow-up work
- Choose supported export subsets including all findings, critical findings or orphan/weak-link findings
- Use Logs and Diagnostics for module events, cron batch history and operator-action summaries
- Configure retention days, log row limits and the number of completed audit runs to keep
Stale-Run Recovery & Admin Access
- Detect queued runs that have made no progress beyond the configured warning threshold
- Use safe-mode recovery controls to force-unlock, clear pending work, retire a stale run or start fresh
- Emergency Diagnostics controls can retire stale running queues when they block normal operations
- Recovery acts on existing queues; changing current batch settings does not rewrite old queued runs
- Restrict addon access through WHMCS admin role groups and use the included documentation for operator guidance

FAQ
Questions About the Sitemap & AEO Manager
What does Sitemap & AEO Manager do?
It generates sitemap.xml for your WHMCS site and provides an admin-only technical audit layer. Audits inspect same-site page signals, classify pages, score findings and provide plain-English recommendations, exports and diagnostic tools.
What does AEO mean here?
AEO means Answer Engine Optimisation. The audit checks technical and content-structure signals such as titles, headings, summaries and schema that help you review how clearly pages present their information.
Does it guarantee rankings or inclusion in AI answers?
No. It identifies technical signals and opportunities for review. Search indexing, rankings and whether an answer engine cites a page depend on external systems and the quality of your content.
Does the audit rewrite my pages?
No. The audit and recommendation layer reports findings without rewriting live site content or theme templates. Sitemap generation writes the sitemap file; content and template fixes remain part of your normal editing workflow.
Which WHMCS content can it discover?
URL discovery covers store, knowledge base, announcements, downloads, MarketConnect content, optional supported blog tables and root PHP pages. Available content depends on your installation and configured exclusions.
Where is the sitemap saved?
The Generate Sitemap action writes sitemap.xml in the WHMCS root, using an atomic temporary-file-and-rename workflow where possible. The Sitemap tab displays its public URL and last generated time.
Why does the browser show a no-style-information message for sitemap.xml?
That is normal when viewing raw XML without a stylesheet. The browser displays the document tree. Use the module’s XML validation and diagnostics to check structure and URLs.
What page signals does the audit check?
Checks include titles, meta descriptions, canonical URLs, headings, schema signals, thin-page signals, duplicate titles/metadata and internal-link context. Findings and recommendations should be verified against the page before applying changes.
Can it find orphaned or weakly linked pages?
Yes. The audit reports orphan/weak-link signals to help you review internal linking. Link-check sampling is configurable; findings are a prioritisation aid rather than a replacement for reviewing the site.
Are recommendations actionable?
The Recommendations tab presents suggestions from the latest run, with severity where available. Examples include adding a meta description or canonical URL, improving title/H1 alignment, adding a summary and reviewing structured data.
How do exclusion rule scopes work?
Audit scope skips crawling. Sitemap scope omits matching URLs from generated output when Apply exclusion rules to sitemap.xml is enabled. Both applies to both workflows. Sitemap filtering is off by default.
Which rule matches are available?
The configuration supports exact URLs, path prefixes, path globs, query contents, page types and extensions. Rules are entered as a JSON array on Exclusions, with optional WHMCS-safe audit presets.
Can client-area or checkout routes be audited?
Fetching those routes is optional and off by default. Separate always-exclude client-area and cart/checkout settings can override inclusion. Audit scope and sitemap scope are separate, so configure both to suit the public URLs you want to assess and publish.
How does it handle larger audit queues?
Browser Continue scan requests process bounded batches using configured size and time budgets. Daily cron can continue queued work in the background. Maximum URLs per run, crawl timeouts, redirects, response sizes and lock expiry are configurable.
Does enabling cron automatically start a new audit each day?
The daily cron processing option continues running audits. A separate Cron: auto-start one audit per day option can start a new run when no running audit has pending URLs, according to its configured behaviour.
What can I do if an audit becomes stale?
The module warns when pending work has made no progress past the configured threshold. Safe-mode recovery provides unlock, clear-pending, retire-run and start-fresh actions. Changing batch settings does not rewrite queues created by older runs; follow the documentation before retiring or clearing work.
Can I export reports and control history retention?
Yes. Audit runs can be exported as CSV or JSON, including supported subsets such as all, critical or orphan/weak findings. Settings control module log retention and row limits, cron batch history and the number of completed audit runs to keep.
What are the installation and access requirements?
Check the current release guide for supported WHMCS/PHP versions and ionCube Loader requirements. Generation needs access to the sitemap output location; audits need same-site HTTP connectivity, and background processing needs a functioning WHMCS cron. Addon access can be limited to admin role groups.
How much are leased and owned licences?
Leased pricing is $9.95 AUD per month or $99 AUD per year, with updates while subscribed. The owned licence is a $249 AUD one-time purchase including 12 months of updates. Additional update access is $59 AUD per year.
Must I renew updates to keep using an owned licence?
No. The $59 AUD annual update renewal is optional. You can continue using your licensed version without renewing updates; renewal provides another 12 months of update access.
