FAQ
- Does this sitemap generator crawl my website or external pages?
- No. This generator is intentionally lightweight and privacy-friendly. It converts the list of URLs you paste into a valid XML sitemap without sending automated bot crawls or making network requests to arbitrary sites.
- What is the maximum number of URLs allowed in an XML sitemap?
- According to the official Sitemaps.org 0.9 specification, a single sitemap file can contain a maximum of 50,000 URLs and cannot exceed 50 megabytes uncompressed. If you have more URLs, you should divide them into multiple sitemaps and list them in a sitemap index file.
- Do Google and search engines still use the <priority> and <changefreq> tags?
- While Google primarily relies on page discovery, internal link structure, and actual modification signals, other search engines (like Bing, Yandex, and Baidu) continue to use changefreq and priority hints. The <lastmod> tag is universally respected when accurate.
- How do I format URLs for the sitemap generator?
- Paste one URL per line. Full canonical URLs including protocol (e.g. https://example.com/page) are recommended. If you paste domain paths without a protocol (e.g. example.com/page), the tool automatically prepends https://.
- Where should I host the sitemap.xml file?
- Upload sitemap.xml to the root directory of your web server (e.g. https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml). Then declare it in your robots.txt file with 'Sitemap: https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml' and register it in Google Search Console.
- How do I generate an XML sitemap programmatically in JavaScript?
- Map your array of URLs: const xml = `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\n<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">\n` + urls.map(u => ` <url>\n <loc>${u.replace(/&/g, '&')}</loc>\n </url>`).join('\n') + `\n</urlset>`;
- Are duplicate URLs automatically removed?
- Yes. With the 'Auto-remove duplicate URLs' toggle enabled (default), repeated URL paths are deduplicated so your sitemap remains clean and concise.
