XML Sitemap Generator
Crawl any website and build a valid sitemap.xml — just enter the home page URL. The tool follows internal links on the same domain and lists every page it finds, ready to copy and submit to Google and Bing. Free, nothing stored.
How to use your sitemap
A sitemap is an XML file that lists the pages on your site so search engines can
discover and crawl them efficiently. Copy the generated XML, save it as sitemap.xml in
your website's root folder, then submit the URL (e.g. https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml)
in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, and add a
Sitemap: line to your robots.txt. Re-generate and resubmit whenever you add important
pages so they get indexed faster.

Frequently asked questions
How does the sitemap generator work?
You enter a start URL and the tool visits it, reads the internal links, and keeps following links on the same domain until it has crawled the page limit or runs out of time. It then lists every HTML page it found as a standard XML <urlset> sitemap.
How many pages does it crawl?
Up to around 40 pages within a short time budget, so the page always responds quickly. For very large sites, generate a sitemap for each main section, or use a server-side crawler. Asset files (images, CSS, JS, PDFs) are skipped.
What do I do with the sitemap?
Save it as sitemap.xml in your site root, then submit it in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, and add a Sitemap: line to your robots.txt.
Why was my URL blocked?
For safety the tool only crawls public http/https sites; private, local and reserved addresses, other schemes and unusual ports are refused, and redirects are never followed off the host you entered.
