What is an XML sitemap?
An XML sitemap is a file that lists all the important URLs on your website, helping search engines discover and crawl your pages more efficiently — especially useful for large sites or pages with few internal links pointing to them.
How to use the XML Sitemap Generator
- Paste every important page URL on your site, one per line, into the box above.
- Choose a change frequency and default priority that reflects how often your content updates.
- Click Generate, then copy the output and save it as sitemap.xml at your site root.
- Submit the sitemap URL in Google Search Console and reference it in your robots.txt file.
Sitemap best practices
Keep sitemaps under 50,000 URLs per file (use a sitemap index for larger sites), only include canonical indexable URLs, and keep it updated whenever you add or remove pages.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many URLs can one sitemap file contain?
A single sitemap file can list up to 50,000 URLs and must be no larger than 50MB uncompressed. Larger sites should split URLs across multiple sitemap files linked from a sitemap index.
Do I need to submit my sitemap to Google manually?
It helps to submit it in Google Search Console under Sitemaps, and also reference it in your robots.txt file so all crawlers can find it automatically.
Should I include noindex pages in my sitemap?
No, only include canonical, indexable pages you want search engines to crawl and rank.
Does this tool crawl my website automatically?
No, this tool builds the XML structure from URLs you paste in manually — it does not crawl your site.
