DigiKitSitemap Generator - DigiKitApp
Generate a sitemap.xml from your list of URLs.
When should you use this?
Use this when you need to create a sitemap.xml that tells search engines the list of pages on your site, especially to help newly published pages get discovered faster.
When shouldn't you use this?
Don't forget to update the sitemap as your site keeps growing with new pages; generating it once and leaving it static leads to an outdated, incomplete sitemap over time.

Step-by-step
- Gather the pages you want indexed. Your CMS page list or an export from a crawler both work as a source.
- Paste them into URL list (one per line). Each must be a full address starting with https://, on its own line.
- Click Run and look over the XML output.
- Save it as sitemap.xml, upload it to your site's root, and submit its address under Sitemaps in Google Search Console.
Example
You've just launched a site for a dental clinic: a home page, an about page, five treatment pages and a contact page. Paste those eight addresses, run the tool, and you get a clean list search engines can read. On a site this small Google would find the pages through links anyway, but submitting a sitemap can speed up discovery on a new domain and makes it easier to see in Search Console which pages got indexed. Adding the sitemap address to robots.txt helps crawlers find it too.
Why is a sitemap needed?
A sitemap (sitemap.xml) is a file that gives search engines a list of your pages. It especially helps bots find pages faster on new, large or poorly linked sites. Each entry has an address (loc) and optionally a last-modified date (lastmod). The file can be submitted to Google Search Console and also mentioned in robots.txt.
What to watch in a sitemap
- Add only pages you want indexed that return 200 and show their own address as canonical.
- A single file is limited to 50,000 URLs and about 50 MB; for large sites use several files and an index file.
- lastmod should show the real change date; writing the same date every day reduces its value.
- A sitemap does not guarantee indexing; it only makes discovery easier.
Things to keep in mind
- List only canonical URLs. Redirected pages, noindex pages and 404s just add noise.
- A single sitemap file can hold up to 50,000 URLs. Larger sites need several files plus a sitemap index that lists them.
- Keep every URL on the same host and protocol. Don't mix www and non-www, or http and https.
- A sitemap tells search engines where pages are; it doesn't promise they'll be indexed. Thin pages can still be left out.
Frequently asked questions
Does this tool directly affect my Google ranking?
No, these are analysis/generation aids; actual ranking depends on many factors. But correct metadata and structured data helps search engines understand your page better.
How should I use the results?
You can paste the generated code/text directly into your site's relevant HTML section (e.g. <head>) or your CMS's SEO settings.
Do you store my data?
No, the URL/text you enter isn't stored anywhere, it's only processed in your browser.
