What an XML Sitemap Includes

An XML sitemap lists canonical URLs you want search engines to discover, with optional lastmod, changefreq, and priority fields for each page.

Which URLs Belong in a Sitemap

Include indexable, canonical, useful pages. Avoid broken URLs, redirects, duplicate parameters, private pages, noindex pages, and low-value temporary paths.

After Generating the Sitemap

Validate the XML, upload it to your site, reference it in robots.txt if needed, and submit the sitemap URL in Search Console or other webmaster tools.

About This Tool

XML Sitemap Generator creates a valid XML sitemap from a list of URLs you provide. It adds the required namespace, supports optional last-modified dates and change frequency hints, and produces a file ready to submit to Google Search Console.

When to Use It

Use this when building a static site and you need to create a sitemap manually, when a CMS does not generate a sitemap and you need to create one for a small set of pages, or when testing sitemap format before implementing dynamic generation.

How to Use

Enter your URLs one per line in the input area.
Optionally set last-modified dates and change frequency for each URL.
Set the priority for important pages.
Click Generate to produce the XML output.
Save the file as sitemap.xml and upload it to your site root.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many URLs can a sitemap contain?

A single sitemap file can contain up to 50,000 URLs and must be no larger than 50 MB uncompressed. Larger sites should use a sitemap index file.

Do I need to submit a sitemap to Bing as well?

Yes. Submit your sitemap to both Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Both accept the same XML sitemap format.

Does the priority tag affect ranking?

Google's documentation states that it does not use the priority tag to determine ranking. It was useful in the early web but is now largely ignored by major crawlers.
