Sitemap Config Generator
Generate a valid XML sitemap from a list of URLs, with optional priority and change frequency.
About Sitemap Config Generator
An XML sitemap is how you tell search engines exactly which URLs exist on your site, and writing valid markup by hand is tedious and easy to botch — a missing namespace or tag breaks the whole file. This generator takes a plain list of URLs and produces valid sitemap XML with optional priority and change frequency for each entry.
Paste URLs, one per line, and set a default priority and change frequency if you want them included. The tool wraps every URL in a proper <url> element inside a namespace-declared <urlset>, so the output validates the first time. You can copy the finished XML and submit it to Google Search Console or Bing Webmaster Tools.
SEO specialists and webmasters use it when launching or restructuring a site to speed up discovery of new pages, and developers generate it for static sites where a script already maintains the URL list. Anyone running a site with deep or frequently updated content benefits from keeping search engines aware of what exists.
How to Use
- Paste your URLs, one per line.
- Set default priority and change frequency.
- Copy the generated XML sitemap.
Example
https://example.com/ https://example.com/about <urlset>...<url><loc>https://example.com/</loc></url>...</urlset>
Each URL becomes a <url> element inside a <urlset> with the sitemap namespace, ready to submit to Search Console.
FAQ
What is an XML sitemap?
A machine-readable list of your site's URLs that helps search engines discover and prioritize pages for crawling.
How often should I submit it?
Submit it once in Search Console and re-submit after significant content changes, or keep it auto-updated from a CMS.
Is a sitemap a ranking factor?
No, but it improves crawl efficiency and discovery, which helps new and orphaned pages get indexed faster.
Should every page on my site be in the sitemap?
Only pages you want indexed. Exclude thin, duplicate, or private pages and let the sitemap guide crawlers to your important content. If a page is blocked by robots.txt, leaving it out of the sitemap avoids confusing signals.
How large can a single sitemap be?
The standard limits are 50,000 URLs and 50 MB per file. Sites beyond that should split into multiple sitemaps and reference them from a sitemap index file, which this generator can help you plan.
