Pro Tips
- •This applies the same change frequency and priority to every URL - for varied values per page, edit the generated XML directly afterward
- •Priority is relative to other pages on your own site (0.0 to 1.0) - it doesn't affect ranking compared to other websites
- •Upload the finished sitemap.xml to your site's root directory and reference it in your robots.txt file for crawlers to find it easily
- •Google largely ignores changefreq and priority values, treating them as hints rather than strict instructions, though some other search engines still consider them
Most Popular
Most small sites use weekly change frequency with priority 0.8 for main pages and 0.5 for less important ones

Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I upload my sitemap.xml file?
Upload it to the root of your domain (like example.com/sitemap.xml), then submit it in Google Search Console and reference it in your robots.txt file's Sitemap directive.
Does priority affect my search ranking?
No. Priority only indicates the relative importance of pages within your own sitemap - it has no effect on how your site ranks compared to other websites.
Do I need a sitemap for a small website?
It's not strictly required for very small sites that are easily crawled through internal links, but it's still considered good practice and helps search engines discover pages faster, especially newly published ones.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. The sitemap is generated entirely locally in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you enter is transmitted anywhere.
Is there a limit to how many URLs a sitemap can contain?
The sitemap protocol allows up to 50,000 URLs per file (and a 50MB uncompressed size limit). Larger sites typically split URLs across multiple sitemap files, referenced by a sitemap index file.
