</urlset>How to use this tool
Paste one canonical URL per line.
Choose optional `lastmod`, `changefreq`, and `priority` values when they are useful for your site.
Copy the generated XML and publish it as `/sitemap.xml`, then reference it from robots.txt or Search Console.
What belongs in an XML sitemap
Include canonical, indexable URLs that you want search engines to discover or revisit.
Avoid duplicate URLs, tracking parameters, internal search results, private pages, and blocked URLs.
Sitemaps help discovery, but they do not guarantee indexing or ranking.
Sitemap limits and splitting
A single sitemap can contain up to 50,000 URLs and must stay under the search engine size limits after compression.
Large sites should split URLs into multiple sitemaps and reference them from a sitemap index.
Use accurate `lastmod` values only when the page content truly changed.
Examples
Minimal sitemap entry
Output<url> <loc>https://example.com/tools</loc> </url>
Entry with lastmod and priority
Output<url> <loc>https://example.com/json-formatter</loc> <lastmod>2026-05-25</lastmod> <priority>0.8</priority> </url>
FAQ
Does a sitemap make Google index every page?
No. A sitemap helps discovery, but search engines still decide whether a page is useful, canonical, crawlable, and worth indexing.
Should I include noindex pages?
No. Keep noindex, private, duplicate, and blocked pages out of the sitemap.
What should lastmod mean?
`lastmod` should represent a meaningful content update, not every deploy, template change, or analytics event.
Where should the sitemap be submitted?
Publish it at a stable URL such as `/sitemap.xml`, add it to robots.txt, and submit it in search engine webmaster tools.
