How to use the XML Sitemap Generator

Paste your URLs (one per line). Pick a default change frequency, priority, and whether to include today\u2019s date as the last-modified value. The XML appears instantly in the output box. Copy it, save as sitemap.xml, upload to your server root, then submit the URL (https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml) in Google Search Console.

Pourquoi cet outil est important

Sitemaps tell search engines exactly which URLs you want indexed and how important each one is. They are especially critical for large sites, single-page applications where crawler discovery struggles, recently launched pages that have not earned backlinks yet, and image-heavy pages. Most CMSes auto-generate sitemaps — but for headless setups, static sites, and quick one-off submissions, a paste-and-generate tool is faster than scripting.

Cas d'utilisation courants

• Submitting a new blog or campaign launch to Google for fast indexing
• Generating a sitemap for a static HTML site (no plugin available)
• Building separate sitemap files for blog posts vs. product pages
• One-off submissions to IndexNow for Bing and Yandex
• Helping a developer who needs sitemap.xml output without writing code
• Auditing an existing sitemap by regenerating with current URLs and diff-checking

Sitemap size limits

A single sitemap.xml file can contain up to 50,000 URLs and 50MB uncompressed. Beyond that, split into multiple files and submit a sitemap index. For ranges above ~10,000 URLs we recommend separating by content type — products, blog posts, categories, tags — so you can monitor which segments index well.

Foire aux questions

Where do I upload the sitemap?
To your server\u2019s root directory, accessible at https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml. Add a reference in robots.txt: “Sitemap: https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml”.

What change frequency and priority should I use?
These hints are largely ignored by Google now, but Bing and others still consider them. Use “weekly” for blog posts, “monthly” for product pages, and “yearly” for evergreen content. Priorities between 0.5-0.8 work fine — anything higher signals nothing because they\u2019re relative within the sitemap.

How often should I update my sitemap?
Whenever you publish new content. Most CMSes (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow) auto-regenerate on publish. For static or headless setups, regenerate as part of your build pipeline.

Should I include images and videos?
For richer indexing yes, but our generator focuses on standard URL sitemaps. For image and video sitemaps use a dedicated plugin or generator that supports those extended schemas.
