Crawl your website and generate a valid XML sitemap. Edit priority and last modified dates, then download — free, no sign-up.
We fetch your site from our server (not your browser) to discover pages. Your URLs are not stored.
NinjaFunction's Sitemap.xml Generator finds the pages on your website and turns them into a valid XML sitemap. Enter your site address and our server crawls the public pages on that domain, up to 500 URLs. Edit lastmod and priority for any URL, preview the XML live, then download the file or copy it. Only the address you enter is sent, and nothing is stored.
An XML sitemap is a file that lists the URLs on your website. Search engines use sitemaps as a roadmap to efficiently discover, crawl, and index your content. The sitemap protocol is defined by sitemaps.org and supported by Google, Bing, Yandex, and others.
Each URL entry requires a <loc> tag containing the full URL. Optional tags include <lastmod> (last modified date), <changefreq> (how often the page changes), and <priority> (relative importance). Google ignores priority and changefreq, but uses lastmod if it's consistently accurate.
A single sitemap can contain at most 50,000 URLs or be 50MB uncompressed, whichever comes first. For larger sites, you must split into multiple sitemap files and reference them from a sitemap index file.
Place sitemap.xml at your website's root (e.g., https://example.com/sitemap.xml). Reference it in your robots.txt file with a line like Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml. Then submit it to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
Open the address in your browser to confirm the file loads, then submit it in Google Search Console under Sitemaps. The report shows how many pages were found and flags errors. It can take days or weeks for all pages to be crawled, and a sitemap does not guarantee that a page will be indexed.
A sitemap.xml file is an XML document that lists all the important URLs on your website. Search engines read it to discover and index your pages more efficiently. It's especially useful for new sites, sites with lots of pages, or sites with poor internal linking.
Google says sitemaps are not required, but they help — especially for large sites, new sites, or sites with rich media content. A sitemap ensures Google can find all your pages and understand their relative importance.
Update it whenever you add, remove, or significantly change pages. If your site changes frequently (like a blog), consider automating sitemap generation as part of your build process.
Yes, the website address you enter. To find your pages, our server visits that public site the way a search engine would: it reads robots.txt, follows links on the same domain up to three levels deep and stops at 500 URLs. The list of URLs comes back to your browser, where the XML file is built. We do not keep the address or the results.
The crawler only finds pages that are linked from your start page within three clicks, skips anything blocked in robots.txt, and stops at 500 URLs. Pages that are only reachable through a search box, a login or JavaScript-only links will not be found. Add those to the file in a text editor before you upload it.
Upload it to the root of your site so it opens at https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml. Then add a line such as Sitemap: https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml to your robots.txt and submit the address in Google Search Console.
