Sitemap Generator

Generate XML sitemaps for your website to improve SEO and search engine indexing.

What Is an XML Sitemap?

An XML sitemap is a file that lists all the important pages of your website, helping search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo discover and crawl your content more efficiently. Defined by the Sitemaps Protocol, the file tells crawlers which pages exist, when they were last modified, how often they change, and their relative priority.

Why Sitemaps Matter for SEO

  • Faster indexing: New pages get discovered and indexed by search engines sooner.
  • Better coverage: Pages that are not easily reachable through internal links can still be found.
  • Priority signals: Tell search engines which pages are most important on your site.
  • Large sites: Essential for websites with hundreds or thousands of pages.

How to Use

  1. Enter your website URLs, one per line.
  2. Click Generate to create the XML sitemap.
  3. Copy the output and save it as sitemap.xml in your website's root directory.
  4. Submit the sitemap URL to Google Search Console for faster indexing.

Best Practices

  • Keep sitemaps under 50,000 URLs and 50 MB (uncompressed). Use a sitemap index for larger sites.
  • Reference your sitemap in robots.txt: Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml
  • Only include canonical, indexable pages — exclude pages with noindex directives.
  • Regenerate your sitemap when you add or remove pages.
