Why Do You Need an XML Sitemap?

• Discover Orphaned Pages: Ensures pages with few internal links are still found.
• Prioritize Content: Using the <priority> tag (0.0 to 1.0) helps signal which pages are most important, though Google uses this as a hint rather than a rule.
• Faster Indexing: Essential for new websites or large e-commerce sites with thousands of products.
• Pro Tip: This tool generates a standard XML file compliant with the sitemaps.org protocol. It strictly adheres to UTF-8 encoding and includes essential tags like <loc>, <lastmod>.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: How often should I update my sitemap?
  A: You should update your sitemap whenever you add new content or make significant changes to existing pages. If you use a CMS like WordPress, this might happen automatically, but manual verification using our tool is a great way to audit your site.
• Q: Will this tool affect my website's speed?
  A: No. The URLs in the sitemap are entirely dependent on your input, and our tool will not crawl your website.
