Why it matters
A sitemap lists the pages you want search engines to find. It matters most for new sites, large sites and pages that few other pages link to.
A good sitemap lists only real, indexable pages. This generator follows your internal links and your current sitemap, then leaves out anything that redirects, returns an error, is set to noindex or points its canonical elsewhere, and tells you why.
Questions
Where do I put the file?
Upload it to the root of your site so it opens at https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml, add a Sitemap: line to robots.txt, and submit it in Google Search Console.
Why are priority and changefreq missing?
Google ignores both. It does use lastmod when it is accurate, so we add it only when your server reports when a page last changed.
How many pages can it crawl?
Up to 100 pages on a free account and 1,000 on paid plans.
