Sitemap Generator
Add the public URLs you want search engines to discover and generate a standards-based XML sitemap.
How to Use Sitemap Generator
- Enter one absolute canonical URL per line and add accurate last-modified dates only when available.
- Generate the XML and remove redirected, duplicate, blocked, or noindex destinations.
- Publish the file on your site, reference it in robots.txt when useful, and submit its final URL to relevant search engines.
Preparing Sitemap Entries
A sitemap should represent the URLs you want indexed, not every URL a crawler could discover. Use consistent protocol and hostname forms, escape XML characters, and split large sets into valid sitemap files plus an index.
The generator creates discovery metadata; it does not crawl pages or confirm their indexability. Check response status, canonical tags, robots directives, and content separately before treating the list as production-ready.
Sitemap Generator Example
Three inputs—`https://example.com/`, `https://example.com/guides/`, and `https://example.com/contact/`—produce three `<url>` entries within one `<urlset>` document.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sitemap Generator
Should every website URL be placed in the sitemap?
Include canonical URLs that you want indexed. Exclude duplicates, redirects, error pages, blocked URLs, and pages intentionally marked noindex.
Are priority and changefreq required?
No. They are optional, and search engines may ignore them. Accurate URLs and meaningful lastmod dates are more useful.
When do I need a sitemap index?
Use an index when you split URLs across multiple sitemap files by size, content type, locale, or publishing system.
