Technical details

A sitemap is an XML file that lists the URLs of your site to help search engines discover and prioritise crawling. The sitemaps.org protocol is supported by Google, Bing, Yandex and other engines. While not strictly required for small sites, a sitemap dramatically speeds up indexing for new pages, large catalogues and JavaScript-heavy SPAs.

Each entry in a sitemap follows the `<url>` element and contains a required `<loc>` (the URL) plus optional `<lastmod>` (W3C datetime), `<changefreq>` (always, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, never) and `<priority>` (0.0–1.0). Google currently ignores `changefreq` and `priority`, but Bing and Yandex still consult them, so the generator emits them by default.

A single sitemap can contain up to 50,000 URLs and weigh up to 50 MB uncompressed. For larger sites split the URLs into multiple sitemaps and reference them from a sitemap index file. The generator can produce either a single sitemap or an index — choose in the options.

Submit the sitemap to Google Search Console (Indexing → Sitemaps) and reference it from robots.txt with a `Sitemap:` line so other crawlers discover it automatically.

Frequently asked questions

How many URLs can a single sitemap contain?
50,000 URLs and 50 MB uncompressed. Use a sitemap index for bigger sites.
Do I need a sitemap if my site is small?
No, but it helps. For sites under 50 pages with good internal linking, robots will find everything anyway.
Should I include URLs that return 404?
Never. Sitemaps must contain only canonical, 200-status URLs.
Where do I submit the sitemap?
Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, Yandex Webmaster. Also reference it from robots.txt.
How often should I update the sitemap?
Whenever you add or remove pages. Automating the update during deployment is best practice.
