About the XML Sitemap Generator

The XML Sitemap Generator helps you build proper, schema-compliant `sitemap.xml` files without needing to write XML by hand. While many CMS platforms auto-generate sitemaps, this manual tool is perfect for static sites, custom web apps, or managing specific sections of a larger site.

Features

  • Interactive Table Editor: Add URLs and manually configure their `lastmod`, `changefreq`, and `priority` properties via an intuitive interface.
  • Bulk Import: Got a list of URLs? Paste them all at once into the Bulk Input mode to instantly generate rows for every page.
  • Strict Validation: The tool catches invalid URLs in real-time, preventing malformed sitemaps from confusing search engines. It automatically escapes special XML entities (`&`, `<`, `>`, `"`, `'`).
  • Privacy Focused: No URLs are ever sent to a server. Your site structure remains completely private while you work in the browser.

Add your URLs, verify there are no validation warnings, and download your `sitemap.xml` file. Remember to submit it via Google Search Console once uploaded!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an XML sitemap used for?

An XML sitemap acts as a roadmap of your website that leads search engines to all your important pages. It helps crawlers like Googlebot navigate your site structure efficiently and ensures all your content gets indexed rapidly.

How do I submit a sitemap to Google Search Console?

First, upload your generated sitemap.xml file to your website's root directory. Then, log into Google Search Console, navigate to the 'Sitemaps' menu on the left sidebar, paste your sitemap URL, and click 'Submit'.

What is the ideal "change frequency" value?

The change frequency attribute hints to search engines how often a page is likely to change. Use 'daily' or 'weekly' for active blogs and news sites, but stick to 'monthly' or 'yearly' for static pages like your About or Contact sections.

Does sitemap priority affect ranking?

No, the priority tag does not influence how your pages rank against other websites in search results. It merely tells search engines which pages you consider most important relative to other pages on your own site.

How many URLs can one sitemap file contain?

A single XML sitemap file can contain a maximum of 50,000 URLs and must not exceed 50MB in uncompressed file size. If your website is larger than this, you must split your URLs across multiple sitemap files and use a sitemap index file.
