Sitemap XML Generator
Sitemap XML Generator splits input on whitespace, parses every token as an absolute URL, and emits a urlset containing only loc elements. It does not deduplicate URLs, enforce same-host scope, limit counts or byte size, verify HTTP status/indexability/canonical, add lastmod or alternate images/videos, build an index, submit the file, or crawl a site. URL serialization and XML escaping can alter the written form appropriately.
Runs locally — files stay on your deviceDoes this discover pages from a website?
No. It includes only URLs you paste.
A sitemap is a discovery signal, not an indexing command
Sitemaps list preferred crawl candidates. Search engines still evaluate accessibility, status, canonical signals, and content quality.
How it works
Whitespace tokens pass through the browser URL parser and are wrapped in the standard sitemap namespace and loc elements.
Key concepts
Minimal fields
Only loc is generated.
Input order retained
No sorting or duplicate removal occurs.
When to use it
- Build a small static sitemap from a reviewed URL list.
- Check minimal XML structure.
- Generate a starting file for manual deployment.
When not to use it
- Do not use it for automatic site discovery.
- Do not include redirected, blocked, noncanonical, or error URLs without review.
- Do not exceed protocol limits.
Worked examples
Two pages
- Input
Two absolute URLs- Expected output
Two url entries
Whitespace separates tokens.
Duplicate
- Input
Same URL twice- Expected output
Two entries
No deduplication.
Relative path
- Input
/about- Expected output
Error
No base is available.
Common mistakes
Listing every parameter variant
Duplicates can waste crawl signals. Correction: Use canonical indexable URLs.
Assuming submission
The page only outputs text. Correction: Deploy and submit/discover the sitemap.
Missing validation
No live request runs. Correction: Crawl and monitor status.
Best practices
- Include canonical 200 indexable URLs.
- Deduplicate and keep host scope intentional.
- Deploy, reference, and monitor the file.
