XML Sitemap Generator
Create a valid sitemap.xml from a list of URLs to submit to search engines.
Why a sitemap matters
An XML sitemap lists your site's important pages for search engines. It helps Google discover all your content faster, especially for new sites, large sites and pages with weak internal linking.
How to create one
Paste your page addresses, one URL per line. Optionally set the change frequency (changefreq), priority and last modified date (lastmod). The tool produces a valid XML file that follows the Sitemaps protocol.
Publishing
Upload the file to your site root as sitemap.xml, add its address to robots.txt and submit it to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Generation happens in your browser.
How to use XML Sitemap Generator
- Paste your page URLs, one per line.
- Choose change frequency, priority and last modified date.
- Check the generated XML.
- Download sitemap.xml and upload it to your site.
Why use this tool?
