XML sitemap generator

Create an XML sitemap from a list of public, canonical URLs on one origin. This tool deduplicates URLs and escapes XML characters. It does not crawl your website or check HTTP status, redirects, robots directives, or indexability.

Your inputs are processed in this browser. This tool does not fetch the URLs you enter.

How to use the xml sitemap generator

  1. List only canonical pages you want indexed. Exclude private pages, redirects, errors, and noindex pages.
  2. Generate the XML and serve it at /sitemap.xml on the same origin as the listed pages.
  3. Reference the sitemap from robots.txt and submit it in your search engine webmaster tools. Regenerate it when your public URLs change.

Common questions

Does a sitemap guarantee indexing?

No. A sitemap helps crawlers discover URLs. Search engines still decide what to crawl and index based on their own systems.

Why is there no lastmod date?

A lastmod should reflect a real, significant page update. This tool cannot verify update dates, so it omits them instead of giving every URL an invented date. The 500-URL cap is this tool’s limit, not the sitemap protocol’s limit.

Reference: Google: build and submit a sitemap.

Check your published changes

After publishing, use the search and AI visibility checker to inspect your public HTML and crawler access. It reports technical signals; it cannot predict indexing, rankings, or AI recommendations.
