Sitemap: why and how to create one

How the generator works

The tool crawls the site via internal links, collects the accessible pages and builds a valid sitemap.xml under the sitemaps.org protocol — with loc and lastmod.

Upload the resulting file to the site root and reference it in robots.txt. For CMS-based sites, dynamic generation by the platform is preferable.

Sitemap and indexing

A sitemap does not guarantee indexing but noticeably speeds it up: the crawler immediately gets a list of URLs instead of gradually following links. This is especially important for new pages and large catalogs.

Watch the reports in the webmaster panels: a discrepancy between “pages in sitemap” and “pages in index” points to quality problems or technical errors.

Frequently asked questions

Which sites need sitemap.xml?+

All of them, but especially: large sites (hundreds of pages), new sites without external links, sites with deep nesting or weak internal linking, and those with frequently updated content.

How do search engines learn about the sitemap?+

Three ways: the Sitemap directive in robots.txt, adding it to Yandex Webmaster, and Google Search Console. It is recommended to use all of them at once.

How often should I update the sitemap?+

On every structural change: new pages, deletions, URL changes. The best option is automatic generation on the site side; a static file suits rarely changing sites.

What should not end up in the sitemap?+

Pages with noindex, blocked in robots.txt, redirects, error pages, non-canonical URLs and duplicates. The map should contain only pages you want to see in the index.
