Sitemap Generator

Crawls a site (same domain only) and builds a sitemap.xml

Crawls up to 100 pages starting from the URL, following only same-domain links. May take a while for larger sites.

What Is a Sitemap Generator?

A sitemap generator crawls a website and produces a sitemap.xml — a file listing the site's pages that search engines can use to discover and index them more reliably.

How to Generate a Sitemap

1

Enter a starting URL and how many pages to crawl.

2

Press "Generate" and wait for the crawl to finish.

3

Press "Download sitemap.xml."

Is This Sitemap Generator Free?

Yes — there's no paywall, no watermark, and no sign-up required.

How the Crawl Actually Works

It starts at the URL you give it, follows every same-domain link it finds on that page, then does the same for each newly found page — a breadth-first crawl that keeps expanding until it hits the page limit or runs out of new pages to find. Links to other domains are ignored.

Is a Sitemap Necessary for SEO?

Not strictly required — search engines can find pages through links alone. But a sitemap helps them discover pages faster, especially on a new site or one with pages that aren't well linked internally. It's a low-effort win, not a hard requirement.

The 100-Page Limit

Crawls are capped at 100 pages. Sites with more than that will only get a partial sitemap covering whatever was found before the limit was hit — the result flags this so you know it's incomplete.

What's Included in Each URL Entry

Each page gets its URL, plus a last-modified date if the server actually sends one in its response headers — many sites don't, so that field is often blank. There's no priority or change-frequency data, just the URLs and whatever dates are available.

Does It Respect robots.txt?

No — this crawler doesn't check robots.txt rules before following a link. It's meant for building a basic sitemap of a site you control, not for crawling sites you don't own or manage.

Adding the Sitemap to Your Site

Upload the downloaded sitemap.xml to your site's root directory, then reference it in your robots.txt file or submit it directly in Google Search Console (or your search engine of choice).

Is It Safe to Crawl a URL Here?

Yes — the crawl runs for that one request and isn't saved anywhere. No account or sign-up is required to use it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sitemap Generation

Is this sitemap generator actually free?

Yes — there's no paywall, no watermark, and no sign-up required.

Is a sitemap necessary for SEO?

Not strictly required, but it helps search engines discover your pages faster, especially for a new site or one with pages that aren't well linked internally. It's a low-effort win rather than a hard requirement.

How does the crawl actually work?

It starts at the URL you give it, follows same-domain links found on each page it fetches, and keeps going breadth-first until it hits the page limit or runs out of new pages to find.

Why is there a 100-page limit?

It's a hard cap to keep each crawl finite. Sites with more than 100 pages will only get a partial sitemap covering what was found before the limit was hit.

Does it respect robots.txt?

No, this crawler doesn't check robots.txt rules before following a link. It's meant for building a basic sitemap of your own site, not for crawling sites you don't control.

Do you store the URLs I crawl?

No. The crawl runs for that one request and isn't saved anywhere.
