What is a Sitemap Generator?

A sitemap generator scans all pages on your website and builds an XML sitemap containing all indexable URLs. You need a sitemap to help search engines understand your website structure and index all pages easily without skipping any important links.

Our sitemap generator works incredibly fast, even for large websites with thousands of pages. Once the sitemap is generated, you can download it as an XML file and upload it to your website.

If you don’t yet have a sitemap for your site, this tool is the fastest way to get started.

Why Generate a Sitemap? graphic
Why Generate a Sitemap?

You should have an updated sitemap available on your site at all times so search engines understand the relationship between your important pages and your site structure. 

Using a sitemap reduces the risk of key pages being missed by search engines and helps new URLs get indexed faster

Websites are much more likely to have indexation issues if you don’t have a complete sitemap or if you’ve never submitted one to your Google Search Console. 

New website owners should prioritize generating a sitemap using this free tool, uploading it to their website, and submitting it to Google Search Console. 

You’ll be able to see indexing issues and errors (if any) directly in your Search Console report as well once you have a live sitemap.
