Sitemap Entries

Define URLs manually. Nothing is crawled, fetched, submitted, or stored, and Last Modified is never filled automatically.

Website base URL (optional)

Used only for relative paths. Include http:// or https:// and use an origin without a path, query, or fragment. No protocol is guessed.

Add multiple URLs or paths

One value per line. Blank lines are ignored, existing populated rows stay intact, and imported metadata—including Last Modified—starts empty.

URL entry 1

URL or relative path

Absolute URLs are serialized safely. Relative paths require the optional base URL above.

Note: Enter a URL or relative path. Blank entries are omitted.

Last Modified (optional)

Leave empty unless you know the accurate meaningful update date. It is never auto-filled.

Change Frequency (optional)

Optional hint; crawler support and behavior can vary.

Priority (optional)

Use 0.1 increments from 0.0 through 1.0. This is an optional hint, not a ranking control.

This manual interface supports up to 500 rendered rows for browser usability. Standard sitemap files allow up to 50,000 URLs and 50 MB uncompressed.

A sitemap can help search engines discover URLs, but it does not guarantee crawling or indexing. Last Modified should reflect a real meaningful update; Change Frequency and Priority are optional hints that search engines may ignore.

Blank sitemap entry loaded. Last Modified is not auto-filled.

Practical XML sitemap guidance

XML sitemaps list canonical URLs that search engines can discover. Inclusion helps discovery but never guarantees that a page will be crawled or indexed.

Publish an accurate Last Modified date only after meaningful page changes. Change Frequency and Priority may be ignored and should not be treated as ranking controls.

A sitemap supports up to 50,000 URLs or 50 MB uncompressed. Larger sites normally split files and use a sitemap index, then publish or reference each sitemap URL from robots.txt.

Frequently asked questions

An XML sitemap is a structured file that lists canonical website URLs and optional metadata to help search engines discover pages available for crawling.

No. A sitemap can help discovery, but search engines decide whether and when to crawl or index each URL based on their own systems and page signals.

It is commonly published at the website root, such as https://example.com/sitemap.xml. You can also reference the absolute Sitemap URL from robots.txt.

Yes. Add a valid origin-only base URL such as https://example.com, then enter paths such as /about. Complete HTTP or HTTPS URLs work without a base URL.

Include Last Modified only when the date accurately represents a meaningful page update. It is optional, and Weburcode never fills the current date automatically.

Support varies, and search engines may ignore Change Frequency or Priority. Treat them as optional hints rather than instructions or ranking signals.

Yes. Large sites commonly publish multiple sitemap files and reference them from a sitemap index. This phase creates one URL sitemap and does not generate sitemap indexes.

A standard sitemap is limited to 50,000 URLs and 50 MB uncompressed. Very large sites usually split URLs across multiple sitemap files and use a sitemap index.

No. XML Sitemap Generator runs entirely in your browser from the entries you provide. It does not crawl, fetch, inspect, upload, submit, or store URLs.
