Upload the file to your domain root, add Sitemap: https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml to robots.txt, and submit it in Google Search Console (Sitemaps report). One sitemap holds up to 50,000 URLs / 50 MB — if you have more, split them and add a sitemap index.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an XML sitemap?
A machine-readable list of your site's pages at /sitemap.xml that tells search engines which URLs exist, when each was last modified, and how often it tends to change. It's a discovery aid — it doesn't guarantee ranking, but it helps crawlers find pages faster, especially on new or large sites.
How many URLs can a sitemap contain?
One sitemap file can hold up to 50,000 URLs and 50 MB uncompressed. Bigger sites split into multiple sitemaps and list them in a sitemap index file — this tool warns you if your list crosses the line.
Do changefreq and priority actually matter?
Honestly, barely. Google has said it largely ignores <changefreq> and <priority> and treats <lastmod> as a hint. Keep them sensible — an accurate lastmod is the part worth getting right — but don't expect them to move rankings.
Do I need a sitemap if Google already crawls my site?
For small, well-linked sites, probably not — Google finds pages through links. Sitemaps earn their keep on new sites with few backlinks, very large sites, pages hidden deep in navigation, and sites with lots of new content.
Where do I submit my sitemap?
Two places: Google Search Console's Sitemaps report (fastest feedback) and your robots.txt file, with a line like Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml so every crawler finds it automatically.
What's the difference between a sitemap and robots.txt?
They do opposite jobs: robots.txt tells crawlers what NOT to fetch, while the sitemap lists what you WANT discovered. Use both — generate your robots.txt with our robots.txt generator and reference the sitemap inside it.
How do I update my sitemap when I publish new pages?
Re-run this tool with your full URL list (old pages included) and re-upload — a sitemap should always list your complete set of pages, not just the new ones. Or automate it: most CMSs (WordPress + Yoast/Rank Math) regenerate sitemaps automatically.
