XML sitemap — page crawl and a ready file.

Crawling is limited to 120 pages and 20 seconds — enough for most sites. Upload the file to your root: example.com/sitemap.xml

Why a site needs a sitemap

Google finds pages by following links. A sitemap is a ready-made list of URLs that removes the guesswork.

A new site No external links point to it yet, so the crawler may take a long time to discover pages. A sitemap speeds up first indexing.
Deep structure If a page is five clicks from the homepage, the crawler may never reach it. In a sitemap it sits alongside everything else.
Pages with no internal links Ad landing pages and old promotions often have no menu links. A sitemap is the only way to surface them.
A large catalogue With thousands of products the crawler works by priority. A sitemap hints at what to check first.

What belongs in a sitemap

Yes

Include

  • Pages returning status 200
  • Canonical URLs only
  • Absolute URLs with https and domain
  • Language versions via hreflang
≠
No

Leave out

  • Pages marked noindex
  • Blocked in robots.txt
  • Redirects and dead URLs
  • Filter and sorting pages

A contradiction between sitemap and tags hurts: a URL listed there but blocked from indexing reads as a configuration error, and Google starts trusting the whole file less.

What to do with the finished file

1 Put it in the site root The standard path is /sitemap.xml. Every search engine looks there, so there is no reason to invent another.
2 Add a line to robots.txt A single Sitemap line with the full URL. That way engines you never submitted to will still find it.
3 Submit it in Search Console The Sitemaps section. Later it shows how many URLs Google read and how many it indexed — the most useful part.
4 Keep it current A sitemap full of stale URLs is worse than none. For sites that change often, generate it automatically.

FAQ

Why does a site need a sitemap.xml?
A sitemap is a list of URLs you offer the search engine to crawl. It matters most for new sites and large catalogues: Google finds pages faster when few internal links point to them. A sitemap does not guarantee indexing, but it noticeably speeds up discovery.
Why were fewer pages collected than my site has?
Crawling is capped at 120 pages and 20 seconds so the tool stays fast and does not overload other servers. We also skip pages with a noindex meta tag, files (PDF, images) and URLs on other domains. For large sites, generate the sitemap in your CMS instead.
Where do I upload the finished file?
To your site root — example.com/sitemap.xml. Then add the line Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml to robots.txt and submit the URL in Google Search Console → Sitemaps. Refresh the sitemap after every noticeable content update.
