About sitemap generator
A sitemap is an XML file that lists the important pages of your website. It helps search engines like Google and Bing discover, crawl, and index content more efficiently. This is especially useful for large websites, single-page applications (SPAs), or sites with pages not easily accessible by normal navigation.
Standards
This generator follows the Sitemap Protocol 0.9, producing valid XML with tags such as
<loc> (URL) and <lastmod> (last modification date).
The format is fully supported by all major search engines.
Limits
A sitemap can include up to 50,000 URLs or 50MB when uncompressed. Large websites can use a
sitemap index to reference multiple sitemap files. Compressed sitemaps (.gz) are also supported.
