XML Sitemap Generator for Small Business Websites

Paste the addresses of the pages you want search engines to find, one per line. The generator checks each one, leaves out anything that should not be in a sitemap and tells you why, then builds a valid sitemap.xml to download. It only adds a last-modified date when you supply one. It does not crawl your site: browsers block one site from reading another, so you give it the list. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to We.Inc or anyone else, and it is gone when you close the tab.

How it works

  1. Enter your site's main address, for example https://www.example.com. Every URL must be on this host.
  2. Paste your page addresses, one per line. Paths like /about are completed with your main address. To add a last-modified date, put it after the address: /about, 2026-08-14.
  3. Paste any addresses you know are noindex, redirected or point their canonical elsewhere into the exclude box. You can find these in Search Console or with the Sitemap Checker.
  4. Each URL is checked. Duplicates, other hosts, http addresses on an https site, # fragments, tracking parameters and invalid or future dates are left out or corrected, and listed in the excluded report.
  5. Download sitemap.xml, upload it to the root of your site, add a Sitemap: line to robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.

What belongs in a sitemap

A sitemap is a list of pages you want search engines to crawl and consider for their index. So it should contain your important pages at their final addresses, and nothing else. Pages that redirect, pages marked noindex and duplicate versions of a page (with tracking parameters, for example) all make the list less trustworthy.

The excluded report shows each address that was left out and the reason, so you can fix the page or the link rather than lose it quietly.

Tips

Frequently asked questions

Does this sitemap generator crawl my website?

No. Crawling another website from a web page is blocked by browsers, and we do not run a hidden crawler. You paste the page list, which also means nothing on your site is missed because a crawler could not reach it, and nothing private is listed by accident.

Why does it not add today's date to every page?

Because that would be false. lastmod should be the date the page content really changed. Search engines learn to ignore lastmod on sites that set it to today everywhere, so the tool only uses dates you give it.

Will submitting a sitemap get my pages indexed?

It helps search engines discover them, but it does not guarantee indexing or ranking. That depends on the pages themselves.

Where do I put the sitemap file?

Usually at the root of your site, so it is reachable at yoursite.com/sitemap.xml. Then add Sitemap: https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml to robots.txt and submit it in Search Console.

How many URLs can one sitemap hold?

Up to 50,000 URLs and 50 MB uncompressed. This tool caps a single file at 50,000 URLs and tells you if you go over.

Is it free?

Yes, with no signup. Nothing is uploaded.
