<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> <url> <loc>https://example.com/</loc> <lastmod>2026-01-15</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> <priority>0.8</priority> </url> </urlset>
An XML sitemap is a file that lists the important URLs on your website so search engines can find and crawl them efficiently. Each entry uses the <url> element with a required <loc> (the page address) and optional <lastmod>, <changefreq> and <priority> values. This generator builds that file for you from a plain list of URLs, escaping special characters and keeping the structure valid. It is part of the Crawl & Indexing group.
| Element | Required? | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| <loc> | Yes | The full, canonical URL of the page |
| <lastmod> | Optional | The date the page last changed |
| <changefreq> | Optional | How often the page is likely to change |
| <priority> | Optional | Relative importance from 0.0 to 1.0 |
Google treats lastmod as a useful hint but largely ignores changefreq and priority. They remain part of the protocol and do no harm, so this tool lets you include or omit them as you prefer.
Search engines find new and updated pages sooner, especially on large or newly launched sites.
Pages with few internal links still get discovered when listed in the sitemap.
The lastmod date tells crawlers which pages changed and may need re-crawling.
Submitting a sitemap in Search Console reveals how many listed URLs are indexed.
A single XML sitemap can hold up to 50,000 URLs and must be no larger than 50MB uncompressed. For larger sites, split URLs across multiple sitemaps and list them in a sitemap index file. This generator is ideal for sitemaps within that limit.
List only canonical, indexable pages that return a 200 status. Exclude redirected, noindex, blocked or duplicate URLs, as including them sends mixed signals. Keeping the sitemap clean helps search engines trust it.
No. They are hints, not ranking factors, and Google largely ignores them. The lastmod date is more useful. You can include all three for protocol completeness or leave them out without harming your SEO.
No. The sitemap is built locally in your browser with JavaScript. The URLs you paste are never uploaded, logged or stored, so the tool is safe to use for unpublished or staging sites.
Help search engines find every page of a freshly launched site quickly.
Keep a current list of posts so new articles are discovered and crawled fast.

Use the XML Sitemap Generator with these tools from the SEO Toolkit: validate the result with the Sitemap Validator, reference it in your Robots.txt Generator output, control indexing with the Meta Robots Tag Generator, set canonical URLs with the Canonical Tag Generator, clean up addresses with the URL Slug Generator, and complete your head tags with the Meta Tag Generator.
Anyone who wants search engines to find every important page.
Everything about generating and submitting XML sitemaps.
It turns a list of page URLs into a valid sitemap.xml file. You paste your URLs and choose optional change frequency, priority and last-modified values; the tool builds well-formed, escaped sitemap XML live. You then copy it or download sitemap.xml to upload to your site.
Yes, completely. There is no cost, no sign-up and no limit on the number of sitemaps you create. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so there are no server costs and nothing to pay for.
You can paste a large list; the practical sitemap limit set by search engines is 50,000 URLs and 50MB per file. For bigger sites, split the URLs across multiple sitemaps and combine them with a sitemap index file.
Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser with JavaScript. The URLs you paste are never uploaded, logged or stored on any server, which makes the tool safe to use for staging or unpublished sites.
Save the output as sitemap.xml and upload it to your site's root, so it is reachable at https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml. Then reference it in your robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console under the Sitemaps report.
Include only canonical, indexable pages that return a 200 status. Leave out redirected, noindex, blocked or duplicate URLs. A clean sitemap of pages you genuinely want indexed sends the clearest signal to search engines.
They are optional hints, not ranking factors, and Google largely ignores them. The lastmod date is more useful for signalling updates. You can include all three for completeness or leave them out with no SEO downside.
No. A sitemap helps search engines discover URLs, but indexing depends on content quality, crawl budget and other factors. It improves discovery and gives you indexing data in Search Console, but it is not a guarantee of indexing.
Yes. This tool is ideal for static or hand-coded sites that lack an automatic sitemap plugin. Paste your URLs, generate the XML, and upload the file — no CMS or server-side software is required.
After generating the file, run it through the Sitemap Validator in this toolkit to check the structure and required tags. Google Search Console will also report errors once the sitemap is submitted and processed.
