What is an XML sitemap?

An XML sitemap is a file that lists all important URLs on your website. It helps search engines like Google discover, crawl, and index your pages more efficiently, especially for large sites or sites with poor internal linking.

How do I submit my sitemap to Google?

You can submit your sitemap through Google Search Console. Go to "Sitemaps" in the left sidebar, enter your sitemap URL (e.g., example.com/sitemap.xml), and click "Submit." Google will then crawl and index the listed URLs.

What priority values should I use?

Priority values range from 0.0 to 1.0. Use 1.0 for your homepage, 0.8 for important pages, 0.5 for standard content pages, and 0.3 for less important pages like archives. These are hints to search engines, not directives.

How often should I regenerate my sitemap?

For most sites, regenerating monthly is sufficient. If you publish frequently (daily blogs, news), consider weekly regeneration. Many CMS platforms auto-update sitemaps when new content is published.

Do I need a sitemap if my site is small?

Even small sites benefit from a sitemap. It helps search engines discover pages that might not be linked internally, ensures all content is indexed, and provides metadata (last modified, priority) that aids crawling efficiency.

What is the maximum size for a sitemap?

A single sitemap file can contain up to 50,000 URLs and must be under 50MB uncompressed. For larger sites, use sitemap index files that reference multiple sitemaps. Our generator handles sites up to 20 pages for quick generation.

Should I include all pages in my sitemap?

Include pages you want search engines to index: main content pages, blog posts, product pages. Exclude admin pages, duplicate content, noindex pages, and pages blocked by robots.txt. Quality matters more than quantity.
