XML Sitemap Generator

Create an XML sitemap to help search engines discover and index your website's pages with automatic duplicate URL detection

What is an XML Sitemap?

An XML sitemap helps search engines discover and index all the pages on your website more efficiently. It provides a list of URLs from your site that search engines should know about.

This sitemap generator provides a simple way to create, edit and manage your sitemap with features that allow you to:

✏️

Edit URLs: Directly edit existing URLs or add new ones to your sitemap

🔄

Sort alphabetically: Organize your URLs for easier management and navigation

🔍

Search URLs: Quickly find specific URLs within large sitemaps

URL Best Practices & Duplicate Detection

Our tool automatically detects and removes duplicate URLs, including these common variations:

🔄

Protocol variations: http:// vs https:// are treated as the same URL.

🔄

Capitalization: Example.com/Page vs example.com/page

🔄

Trailing slash differences: Search engines typically treat URLs with and without trailing slashes as different URLs:

https://example.com/page vs https://example.com/page/

⚠️

Consistency is key: Our tool automatically removes duplicates but you can still choose one format in the edit mode.

🔍

SEO impact: Inconsistent trailing slashes can cause duplicate content issues.

💡

Recommendation: Many SEO experts prefer URLs without trailing slashes for cleaner appearance.

🛠️

URL normalization: Use the Edit mode to consistently add or remove trailing slashes if needed.

Google Sitemap Guidelines

According to Google's sitemap documentation, we've intentionally omitted certain tags:

ℹ️

Priority and Changefreq: Google ignores <priority> and <changefreq> values in sitemaps.

🕒

Last Modified: Google only uses <lastmod> values if they're consistently and verifiably accurate.

💡

Simplicity works best: Our tool focuses on the essential URL structure for more effective sitemaps.
