Sitemap XML Notes
A sitemap tells search engines which canonical URLs you want crawled. The sitemap protocol requires each URL inside a <loc> element. This generator also supports optional <lastmod>, <changefreq>, and <priority> hints.
- Use absolute URLs:
https://example.com/page. Relative inputs are converted only when a base site URL is provided. - Keep files within limits: one sitemap can contain up to 50,000 URLs and 50 MB uncompressed. Split larger sites and use a sitemap index.
- Make lastmod accurate: include it only when it reflects the page content date, not the date the sitemap was generated.
- Escape safely: generated XML escapes characters such as
&in query strings.
FAQ
Can I include query strings?
Yes. Query strings are kept and XML-escaped. Use canonical URLs when parameter variants should not be indexed separately.
Can I use relative paths?
Yes, enter a base site URL such as https://example.com/. Relative inputs like /about and blog/post are converted to absolute URLs.
Does priority improve ranking?
No. Priority is only a crawl hint within your own site and may be ignored. It is not a ranking signal.
