Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? Here are the answers about Sitemap Generator

Why is Google not using my sitemap URLs?

A sitemap is a discovery hint, not an indexing guarantee. Check that each URL is canonical, indexable, returns 200, is not blocked by robots.txt, and has useful content.

Where should I put sitemap.xml?

Place it where crawlers can fetch it, commonly https://example.com/sitemap.xml, then reference it in robots.txt and submit it in Search Console or Bing Webmaster Tools.

How many URLs can a sitemap have?

A single sitemap can contain up to 50,000 URLs and must not exceed 50MB uncompressed. Larger sites should use a sitemap index file.

Should I include noindex, redirected, or 404 URLs?

No. Keep sitemaps limited to canonical, indexable URLs that return 200. Including bad URLs wastes crawler attention and makes diagnostics harder.

Does change frequency guarantee crawl timing?

No. The changefreq tag is a hint to search engines, not a guarantee. Search engines may crawl more or less frequently based on their own algorithms.

Is my data safe?

Yes. All sitemap generation happens entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server.

How should I set lastmod dates?

Use the date when the main page content meaningfully changed. Do not update lastmod automatically every day unless the content actually changed.

Do I need a sitemap for SEO?

A sitemap helps discovery, especially for new, large, deep, or frequently updated sites. It does not replace crawlable internal links and indexable page content.
