Frequently Asked Questions
What does this tool generate?
It generates both an XML sitemap (listing all your pages with optional priority and change frequency) and a robots.txt file (controlling which pages search engine crawlers can access). Both are essential for effective SEO.
What is an XML sitemap and do I need one?
An XML sitemap is a file that lists all the pages on your site, helping search engines discover and index them. You need one if your site has pages not well-linked internally, is new, or has over a few dozen pages. Submit it via Google Search Console for faster indexing.
How do I disallow search engines from indexing certain pages?
Use the robots.txt generator to add Disallow rules for paths you don't want crawled (e.g. /admin/, /private/). Note: robots.txt prevents crawling but not indexing if other sites link to those pages — use noindex meta tags for more reliable exclusion.
What priority and changefreq values should I use in my sitemap?
Priority (0.0-1.0) is a hint, not a guarantee. Use 1.0 for your homepage, 0.8 for important category pages, and 0.5-0.6 for regular content pages. Changefreq hints how often content changes (daily, weekly, monthly) — honest values help crawl budget allocation.
