About this tool
A sitemap lists the pages you want search engines to discover. It does not guarantee indexing, but it helps new sites and pages with few links get found faster. Upload sitemap.xml to your site root, add a Sitemap: line to robots.txt, and submit it in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
Google ignores changefreq and priority, so they are optional here. An accurate lastmod date is the hint Google does use. Each sitemap file can hold 50,000 URLs; larger lists are split automatically.
Good to know
- Does not crawl your site; you supply the URL list.
- All URLs should be on the same domain as the sitemap.
