Crawl your entire website and generate a valid sitemap.xml file instantly.
How a sitemap actually helps search engines find your pages, which URLs belong in one, and answers to the questions we get asked most.
Building and publishing a sitemap is a three-step process: generate the file, upload it to your site, then tell Google where to find it.
Step 1 — Crawl & extract. Enter your site's
domain above. The crawler follows your internal links to collect
clean URLs automatically, while checking robots.txt so it never lists
a URL your site has disallowed, skipping pages marked
noindex, and skipping non-canonical duplicates so
parameterized or paginated copies don't crowd out the real page.
Step 2 — Deploy the file. Download the generated
sitemap.xml and upload it to your site's root directory
via your hosting control panel or FTP — for most setups that's the
public_html folder, so the file ends up reachable at
https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml.
Step 3 — Submit to Google. In Google Search Console,
open the "Sitemaps" section under Indexing, enter
sitemap.xml, and submit it — this doesn't guarantee
faster rankings, but it does prompt Google to check the file and
prioritize crawling the URLs it lists.
Only the canonical, indexable URLs you actually want search engines
to rank — Google's own guidance says to leave out pages blocked by
robots.txt, pages marked noindex, and non-canonical
duplicate URLs.
Including those anyway doesn't just add clutter — a sitemap full of
blocked or noindexed URLs can generate warnings in Search Console and
makes it harder to trust the file as an accurate map of what should
be indexed. This is why the generator above checks each page's
robots.txt status, noindex meta tag, and canonical tag
before adding it, rather than listing every URL it happens to find.
No — a sitemap doesn't influence rankings directly; it only affects whether and how quickly a page is discovered and crawled.
Once a page is found, its ranking still depends entirely on the usual factors: content quality, relevance, links, and everything else Google's ranking systems weigh. A sitemap's job ends at getting a page onto Google's radar quickly and completely — what happens after that is unrelated to whether the page was in a sitemap.
Gives search engines a direct list of URLs instead of relying solely on following links to find new or updated pages.
