XML Sitemap Generator
The XML Sitemap Generator is a free online tool that crawls any website and creates an XML sitemap file — a structured list of all your website's pages that you can submit to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools to help search engines discover and index your content more efficiently.
While search engines can find most pages through crawling, a sitemap ensures no pages are missed — especially important for large sites, sites with poor internal linking or newly published pages that haven't been linked to yet.
How to Generate an XML Sitemap
- Enter your website URL (root domain)
- Set the crawl frequency (daily, weekly, monthly) and page priority levels
- Click Generate Sitemap
- Wait for the crawl to complete (depends on site size)
- Download the sitemap.xml file
- Upload to your website root (e.g. yoursite.com/sitemap.xml) and submit to Google Search Console
Sitemap Best Practices
- Include only canonical, indexable URLs — no paginated pages, filtered URLs or admin pages
- Keep sitemap files under 50,000 URLs and 50MB; split large sites into multiple sitemaps
- Add your sitemap URL to your robots.txt file
- Update and resubmit whenever you publish significant new content
Free for sites up to 500 pages. No login or software installation required.
