Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about XML sitemaps
What is an XML sitemap and why do I need one?
An XML sitemap is a file that lists all important pages on your website, helping search engines like Google and Bing discover and index your content more efficiently. It includes metadata about each URL such as when it was last updated, how often it changes, and its relative priority. While not mandatory, sitemaps significantly improve crawl efficiency, especially for large sites, new sites, or sites with complex navigation.
Is the Sitemap Generator free to use?
Yes, our Sitemap Generator is completely free with no registration, no daily limits, and no premium paywalls. All processing happens client-side in your browser for complete privacy β your data never leaves your device.
How many URLs can I include in my sitemap?
Google allows up to 50,000 URLs per sitemap file with a maximum file size of 50MB (uncompressed). Our tool supports up to 50,000 URLs. If you have more pages, you should create a sitemap index file that references multiple sitemap files.
How do I submit my sitemap to Google?
Upload the generated sitemap.xml file to your website root directory, then submit it via Google Search Console under Indexing > Sitemaps. You can also reference it in your robots.txt file with the line: Sitemap: https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml. Bing Webmaster Tools also accepts the same sitemap file.
What do priority and changefreq mean?
Priority (0.0 to 1.0) indicates the relative importance of a URL compared to other pages on your site β it does NOT affect your search rankings. Changefreq tells search engines how often a page is likely to change (always, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, never). These are hints to crawlers, not commands.
Should I include every page in my sitemap?
Only include pages you want search engines to index. Exclude login pages, admin panels, thank-you pages, duplicate content, and pages with noindex tags. Focus on your most valuable, unique content pages. Quality over quantity is the key to effective sitemaps.
