About the XML Sitemap Generator

The XML Sitemap Generator builds a valid sitemap.xml file that lists every URL you want search engines to crawl. Add pages manually or paste a list, set the last-modified date, change frequency and priority, and download a file that is ready to upload to the root of your domain.

What it does

The tool generates a compliant sitemaps.org XML file with loc, lastmod, changefreq and priority elements for each URL. It supports up to 50,000 URLs and 50MB, the limits Google enforces for a single sitemap file.

Why it matters

Sitemaps help search engines discover new pages faster, especially on large sites, JavaScript-heavy sites and sites with weak internal linking. They also help you signal which URLs are canonical and how often they change.

How to use it

List every canonical URL you want indexed (usually the trailing-slash HTTPS version).
Set a realistic changefreq for each URL (daily for the home page, monthly for evergreen pages).
Download the generated sitemap.xml.
Upload it to the root of your domain so it is reachable at /sitemap.xml.
Submit the sitemap URL in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.

Best-practice tips

Only include indexable, canonical URLs; skip redirects, 404s and noindex pages.
Split into multiple sitemaps (products, posts, pages) if your site is large.
Reference all sub-sitemaps in a sitemap index file if you split them.
Keep lastmod dates accurate; do not update every entry to today.
Reference the sitemap in your robots.txt for maximum discoverability.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a sitemap if my site is small?

Not strictly, but it is best practice. Even for a 20-page site, submitting a sitemap accelerates indexing and gives you a signal-rich record in Search Console.

What is the maximum sitemap size?

50,000 URLs and 50MB uncompressed per file. Larger sites use a sitemap index that references multiple sitemap files.

Should I include images and videos?

Yes, if visual content matters for your traffic. You can add image and video sub-elements to enrich the sitemap.
