Website Sitemap Generator

For sites under ~50 pages with good internal linking, Google can usually find everything without one — but submitting a sitemap still speeds up indexing of new pages and gives you coverage reports in Search Console. For sites with deep navigation, JavaScript-rendered pages, or new domains, a sitemap.xml moves from "nice to have" to "required."

Either install a sitemap plugin (Yoast on WordPress, next-sitemap on Next.js) or use this generator: paste your homepage URL, copy the output, save it as sitemap.xml at your site root, and submit the URL to Google Search Console.

The sitemaps.org standard caps a single sitemap at 50,000 URLs or 50 MB uncompressed. Larger sites split into multiple sitemaps and use a sitemap index file. This generator caps output at 500 URLs from your homepage — enough for most small-to-medium sites and ideal as a starter file.

Plugins crawl your full CMS database and update automatically when you publish. This tool is faster (no install, no auth) but only sees what is linked from your homepage in a single request. Use it for one-shot needs; use a plugin or build-time generator for production.

At your site root, accessible at https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml. Most static hosts (Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages) let you drop the file in a public/ directory. WordPress and Shopify handle this automatically through their plugins. After uploading, submit the URL in Google Search Console > Sitemaps.

No — this tool does a single static HTML fetch, so client-side-only routes (React Router, Next.js client-only pages) won't appear unless they're also linked from the static HTML. For JS-heavy sites, use Next.js's built-in sitemap export or run a headless browser crawl.
