Overview

Generate clean sitemaps and robots.txt

This engine builds a valid XML sitemap and a matching robots.txt so search engines can discover and crawl your pages efficiently. Correct crawl directives are one of the most overlooked ranking foundations — a single misplaced Disallow can hide an entire section of your site from Google.

Avoid the crawl mistakes that block indexing

Common failures include declaring the wrong canonical host, blocking assets that pages need to render, or listing URLs in the sitemap that redirect elsewhere. The tool helps you keep your sitemap, robots rules, and preferred domain consistent, which is exactly what prevents 'Discovered – not indexed' and 'Page with redirect' issues.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I create a sitemap.xml for my website for free?+

Enter your website's URLs (one per line) or provide your domain. The tool generates a properly formatted XML sitemap file you can download and upload to your server at yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml.

What is an XML sitemap and why do I need one?+

An XML sitemap is a file that lists all your website's important pages, helping search engines find and index them faster. Websites with sitemaps submitted to Google Search Console typically get crawled more thoroughly.

How do I submit my sitemap to Google?+

After generating your sitemap, upload it to your root domain (yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml). Then go to Google Search Console → Sitemaps → Enter your sitemap URL → Submit.

What should I put in my robots.txt file?+

Block pages you don't want indexed: admin panels (/admin/), login pages, API endpoints (/api/), duplicate content, and search result pages. Always allow: /, /sitemap.xml, and all public content pages.

How often should I update my sitemap?+

Update your sitemap whenever you add or remove pages. For active blogs or ecommerce sites, set lastmod dates and regenerate monthly. Many CMS platforms (WordPress, Shopify) do this automatically.

What is crawl budget and how does a sitemap improve it?+

Crawl budget is the number of pages Googlebot will crawl on your site within a given timeframe. Submitting a clean, accurate sitemap signals which pages are most important, helping Google prioritize crawling your best content instead of wasting resources on low-value or duplicate pages.

What is crawl budget?+

It's how many pages a search engine will crawl on your site in a given period. A clean sitemap and robots.txt help it spend that budget on your important pages.
