How to use the XML sitemap generator

Paste your URLs, one per line. Choose a change frequency, a priority and a last-modified date, or leave any of them out. The XML updates as you type and special characters such as & are escaped for you. Copy it or download it as sitemap.xml, upload it to the root of your site, then submit https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.

Why sitemaps matter

A sitemap tells search engines which URLs you want crawled and indexed. It matters most for large sites, single-page applications where crawlers struggle to find links, new pages that have no backlinks yet, and pages buried deep in the site. Most CMSs build sitemaps automatically, but for static sites, headless setups and quick one-off lists, pasting URLs is faster than writing a script.

Common uses

  • Getting a new campaign or blog section discovered quickly
  • Creating a sitemap for a static HTML site with no plugin
  • Building separate sitemaps for posts and product pages
  • Checking an old sitemap by regenerating it from your current URL list

Sitemap size limits

One sitemap file can hold up to 50,000 URLs and 50 MB uncompressed. Beyond that, split your URLs into several files and list them in a sitemap index. Splitting by content type, such as products, posts and categories, also makes it easier to see which sections get indexed in Search Console.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I upload the sitemap?

To your site's root folder, so it loads at https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml. Also add a line to robots.txt: Sitemap: https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml.

Do change frequency and priority matter?

Google says it ignores both. Bing and some other crawlers may still read them, so they do no harm, but an accurate lastmod date is far more useful. Only set lastmod when the page content really changed.

How often should I update my sitemap?

Whenever you publish or remove pages. WordPress, Shopify and most other platforms update it on publish. For static or headless sites, regenerate it as part of your build.

Can I include images and videos?

This generator builds standard URL sitemaps. For image or video sitemaps, use a plugin or generator that supports those extensions.
