Create a Clean XML Sitemap for Your Website

The XML Sitemap Generator helps you create a structured sitemap file for your website pages. Add your website address or enter multiple page URLs, then generate a ready-to-use sitemap that can be saved as sitemap.xml.

A sitemap makes it easier for search engines to discover important pages on your website, understand your page structure, and keep track of available URLs. This is especially useful for websites with many pages, new websites, online tools, blogs, directories, and business sites.

Mini Guide: What Is an XML Sitemap?

An XML sitemap is a file that lists website URLs in a structured format. It helps search engines understand which pages are available on a website. A sitemap does not replace good navigation, but it gives crawlers a clear list of pages that should be discovered.

A typical sitemap contains page URLs and may also include details such as last update date, change frequency, and priority. These details can help describe how pages are maintained, although search engines may decide how to use that information.

For best results, keep your sitemap clean and accurate. Include important public pages, avoid broken links, remove duplicate URLs, and update the file when you add or remove pages from your website.


XML Sitemap Best Practices

  • Use full URLs, including https://.
  • Only include public pages that should be discovered.
  • Remove old, redirected, private, or broken pages.
  • Keep the sitemap updated when pages change.
  • Place the file in your website root directory, such as https://example.com/sitemap.xml.
  • Make sure your sitemap can be opened in a browser.
  • Check that all listed URLs return a working page.
