About XML Sitemap Generator

This XML sitemap generator builds a list of the pages you want search engines to find, which helps most on new sites, large catalogs and pages few links point to. With Crawl my site, enter your home page and our server follows your internal links on the same host. It obeys robots.txt and skips noindex pages (both on by default), lists the address a redirect or canonical tag points to rather than the page itself, drops pages that return errors, and leaves out files such as PDFs, CSS and JavaScript. Lastmod comes from each page's Last-Modified header, and priority drops with every click away from the start page. A crawl covers up to 100 pages for visitors, 500 for free members and 5,000 for VIP, stops after 8 minutes and counts as one task. It only follows links in the HTML, so pages reached through scripts or a search box may be missed.

Under Addresses to leave out, enter one pattern per line, up to 50, such as /tag/ or ?sort=. Any address containing it stays out of the sitemap, and so does a page whose redirect or canonical points to a left-out address. Tick the option to list each page's pictures too, and up to 10 images per page go into the file in Google's image sitemap format. Next to Download sitemap.xml you get sitemap.txt, one address per line, the plain list that search engines such as Baidu accept for submitting URLs, and sitemap.html, a page listing your site's pages for visitors. The report shows how many pages were left out and how many pictures were listed. Paste a list of addresses builds sitemap.xml in your browser from any number of URLs, with optional lastmod, changefreq and priority, and isn't counted. Check the file with the Sitemap Checker.

FAQ

XML Sitemap Generator: questions and answers

How many pages can the sitemap generator crawl?
Up to 100 pages per crawl for visitors, 500 for free members and 5,000 for VIP members, and a crawl stops after 8 minutes. Each crawl counts as one task, with 2 in total for visitors, 2 a day for free members and no limit for VIP. Building a sitemap from a pasted list isn't counted.
How do I keep tag pages or sorted URLs out of the sitemap?
Enter one pattern per line under Addresses to leave out, up to 50. Any address containing a pattern is left out, and * matches anything, so /tag/, /page/* and ?sort= cover tag pages, paginated lists and sorted copies. A page whose redirect or canonical points to a left-out address is left out too, and the report shows how many were.
What are sitemap.txt and sitemap.html for?
sitemap.txt lists one address per line, the plain format that search engines such as Baidu accept for submitting URLs. sitemap.html is a page that lists your site's pages for visitors. Every crawl makes both next to sitemap.xml, each with its own download button.
Why are some of my pages missing?
The crawl only finds pages linked from the HTML of pages it has read. Pages blocked by robots.txt, marked noindex or matching one of your addresses to leave out are skipped, redirects and canonicals are replaced by the address they point to, and the page limit may have been reached. Add missing URLs with the list mode.
Where do I put sitemap.xml, and how do I submit it?
Upload it to your site root, add a Sitemap line with its full address to robots.txt, and submit that address in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. The Robots.txt Generator can add that Sitemap line along with your other rules.
