Sitemap Generator
Generate a valid sitemap.xml file from a list of URLs, ready to upload.
A sitemap.xml file lists every URL you want search engines to know about, along with hints about how often each page changes and its relative importance — helping crawlers discover and prioritize your content more efficiently, especially on larger sites or ones with pages that aren't well-linked internally.
This generator takes a plain list of URLs (one per line) and produces a correctly formatted XML sitemap following the sitemaps.org protocol, with a shared change frequency and priority applied across all entries, plus today's date as the last-modified timestamp for each. The output validates against the standard sitemap schema and is ready to upload directly to your site's root or wherever your server serves static files.
For sites built with a framework that generates sitemaps dynamically (like this one), a hand-built sitemap generator like this is most useful for smaller static sites, or for quickly producing a supplementary sitemap for a specific content set.
