Frequently asked questions
What is an XML sitemap?
It’s a file that lists the pages of your website so search engines can find them, especially new pages or pages with few links pointing to them. It doesn’t guarantee that every page gets indexed, but it helps.
Where should I put the sitemap?
Upload it to the root of your site, for example https://example.com/sitemap.xml. Then submit it in Google Search Console and add a Sitemap line to your robots.txt file.
Are lastmod, changefreq and priority required?
No, only the address is required. Google uses lastmod when it’s consistently accurate, and ignores changefreq and priority. Leave them out rather than filling them with guesses.
How many URLs can a sitemap contain?
Up to 50,000 addresses and 50 MB uncompressed. For larger sites, split your pages into several sitemaps and list them in a sitemap index file.
Can this tool crawl my website?
Not yet. This version builds the sitemap from a list you paste, entirely in your browser, so nothing is sent anywhere. You can export the list of pages from your CMS, your analytics or a spreadsheet.
Are special characters handled?
Yes. Addresses are encoded the way browsers do it, and characters like & are escaped, so the XML file stays valid.
