FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about this free SEO tool.

An XML sitemap is a file that lists all important URLs on your website, helping search engines discover, crawl, and index your content more efficiently.

Yes — 100% free with no limits. Enter any domain and instantly extract all sitemap URLs.

Our tool will report that no sitemap was found. We recommend creating one — most CMS platforms (WordPress, Shopify) generate sitemaps automatically.

Google recommends a maximum of 50,000 URLs and 50MB per sitemap file. For larger sites, use a sitemap index that references multiple sitemap files.

No. Only include canonical, indexable URLs in your sitemap. Including noindex pages sends conflicting signals to search engines.

Your sitemap should update automatically whenever you publish or remove content. Most CMS platforms handle this. Stale sitemaps can slow down discovery of new content.
