What is the xml sitemap generator?

The XML sitemap generator turns a list of URLs into a sitemap.xml file that follows the sitemaps.org protocol. Add the last modified date, the change frequency and the priority, or let the priority follow the depth of each URL.

A sitemap helps search engines discover all your pages, especially new pages and pages with few internal links. Submit it in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, and reference it in robots.txt.

Frequently asked questions

How many URLs can a sitemap hold?

Up to 50,000 URLs and 50 MB. Bigger sites use several sitemaps and a sitemap index.

Do changefreq and priority matter?

Google ignores them and uses lastmod when it's accurate. Other search engines may still read them.

Which pages should be in the sitemap?

Only canonical pages that you want indexed: no redirects, no noindex pages and no duplicates.

How do I submit a sitemap?

Add it in Google Search Console under Sitemaps, and add a Sitemap: line to robots.txt.
