About XML sitemaps
A sitemap is one of the simplest ways to help search engines find every page on your site,
especially pages that aren't well linked internally. This generator produces a standards-compliant
<urlset> with one <url> entry per line you paste, applying
your chosen lastmod, changefreq and priority to each. Invalid
lines (anything that isn't a valid absolute URL) are skipped, and the count shows how many were used.
Frequently asked questions
- An XML sitemap lists the URLs on your site so search engines can discover and crawl them efficiently. Each URL can carry optional hints:
lastmod(last modified date),changefreqandpriority. - A single sitemap file is limited to 50,000 URLs and 50 MB uncompressed. For larger sites, split into multiple sitemaps and reference them from a sitemap index file.
- Google has said it largely ignores
changefreqandpriorityand relies onlastmodwhen it is accurate. They are still valid and harmless to include. - Upload it to your site (e.g.
/sitemap.xml), add aSitemap:line to your robots.txt, and submit the URL in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
