Sitemap Generator

An XML sitemap is a file that lists all important URLs on your site so search engines can find and index them efficiently. While not strictly required, a sitemap is strongly recommended for sites with more than a handful of pages, new sites with few inbound links, or sites with large amounts of content.

Place sitemap.xml at the root of your domain (e.g. https://example.com/sitemap.xml). Then reference it in your robots.txt file using "Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml", and submit it to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools for faster indexing.

Priority (0.0 to 1.0) signals which pages you consider most important relative to other pages on your own site. It does not affect how you rank compared to other websites. Search engines often ignore this field, but it's still good practice to set your homepage to 1.0 and less important pages lower.

A single sitemap file can contain a maximum of 50,000 URLs and must be under 50 MB uncompressed. If your site has more URLs, you'll need a sitemap index file that references multiple sitemap files. This generator is intended for sites up to ~1,000 URLs.

The changefreq hint tells search engines how often a page's content changes — from "always" (changes with every visit) to "never" (archived content). This is only a hint; search engines may crawl at their own discretion regardless of what you specify.
