About Sitemap Generator

The Sitemap Generator creates a standards-compliant XML sitemap that lists every important page on your website along with metadata like last-modified dates and priority hints. Submitting a sitemap to search engines helps them discover and re-crawl your content efficiently, which is especially valuable for new sites, large catalogs, and pages with limited internal links. SEO professionals and webmasters use it to ensure complete, fast indexing.

  • Automatic URL discovery by crawling your site from a given start URL
  • Configurable changefreq and priority values for each URL entry
  • Support for lastmod timestamps to signal content freshness
  • Handles sitemap index files for sites with more than 50,000 URLs
  • One-click download and copy of the generated XML output

    Download the XML file, upload it to your server root, and submit the sitemap URL through Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.

Common Use Cases

Launching a new website

Generate and submit a sitemap immediately after launch so search engines discover all your pages without waiting for organic link crawling.

E-commerce product catalogs

Keep a constantly updated sitemap that reflects new products, discontinued items, and price changes so search engines always have the latest version of your catalog.

Content-heavy news or blog sites

Ensure newly published articles are listed in the sitemap with current lastmod dates so Google News and web search pick them up within hours.

Multi-language websites

Generate sitemaps that include hreflang annotations so search engines serve the correct language version of each page to the right audience.

Why Use Our Sitemap Generator

Many sitemap generators require server access or paid crawling credits. This free, browser-based tool discovers your pages, lets you set changefreq and priority per URL, and outputs a protocol-compliant XML file you can download instantly. No crawl limits, no sign-up walls, and full support for sitemap index files on large sites.

No Data Shared with Competitors

Your full URL list, page priorities, and update frequencies are generated locally and never stored on external servers. Competitors cannot access your sitemap configuration or discover unlisted pages through our tool, keeping your content roadmap secure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many URLs can a single sitemap contain?
A single XML sitemap can contain up to 50,000 URLs and must not exceed 50 MB when uncompressed. For larger sites, you need a sitemap index file that references multiple individual sitemap files.
Does having a sitemap guarantee my pages will be indexed?
A sitemap is a suggestion to search engines, not a directive. It helps with discovery, but search engines ultimately decide whether to crawl and index each URL based on content quality, crawl budget, and other ranking factors.
How often should I update my sitemap?
Update your sitemap whenever you add, remove, or significantly change pages. For dynamic sites, automate sitemap generation so it always reflects the current state of your content. Stale sitemaps with outdated lastmod dates reduce crawler trust.
