About the XML Sitemap Generator
The XML Sitemap Generator crawls the URL you enter, collects the pages it links to and builds a sitemap in the standard sitemaps.org format, with optional last-modified date, change frequency and priority.
Upload the file to your site's root and submit it in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.

Frequently asked questions
Where should sitemap.xml go?
In the root of your site, e.g. https://example.com/sitemap.xml, and referenced in robots.txt.
Do priority and change frequency matter?
Google largely ignores them; lastmod is the most useful optional field.
My CMS already makes a sitemap - do I need this?
No. Use this for static sites or to check what a crawler can reach.
