Frequently Asked Questions

An XML sitemap is a file that lists the important URLs on your website, helping search engines like Google and Bing discover and crawl your pages more efficiently. It follows the Sitemap Protocol (sitemaps.org) and is especially important for large sites or new sites with few inbound links.

A single sitemap file can contain a maximum of 50,000 URLs and must not exceed 50 MB (uncompressed). For larger sites, use a sitemap index file that references multiple individual sitemaps.

Google has stated it largely ignores changefreq and priority because these are self-reported values that site owners often set to manipulate crawling. However, Bing and other crawlers still use them. More importantly, <lastmod> is respected by Google when the dates are accurate and consistent.

Upload your sitemap.xml to your domain root, then submit it via Google Search Console → Sitemaps → Enter sitemap URL. Also add a Sitemap: directive to your robots.txt file so crawlers can discover it automatically without manual submission.

How It Works

Enter URLs

Paste your list of URLs, one per line. The tool automatically validates and normalizes them into the correct format.

Configure Defaults

Set default priority, change frequency, and last modified date to be applied to all URLs, or leave lastmod as today's date.

Download & Submit

Download your sitemap.xml file and upload it to your server root. Then submit the URL to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.

Common Use Cases

New Website Launch

Generate a sitemap for a new website before launch so search engines can quickly discover and index all pages from the moment the site goes live.

Site Migration

During a domain migration, create a new sitemap with all new URLs and submit it immediately to accelerate re-indexing of migrated pages.

Low Link Pages

Ensure pages with few internal links pointing to them get discovered by search engines by explicitly including them in your sitemap.

Crawl Budget Control

Only include canonical, indexable pages in your sitemap to help Google focus its crawl budget on your most important content.

Freshness Signaling

Update the lastmod date whenever you refresh content and resubmit the sitemap to signal to Google that pages have been updated and need re-crawling.

E-commerce Catalogs

Export product URLs from your store and generate a sitemap to ensure Google can crawl and index every product page in your catalog.
