About SiteMapr
Our Mission
SiteMapr was built with a simple mission: to make essential SEO tools accessible to everyone. We believe that every website, whether it belongs to a solo blogger, a small business, or a large enterprise, deserves the best chance of being discovered in search engines. That starts with a properly formatted XML sitemap.
Many sitemap generators charge subscription fees, impose restrictive limits, or require account creation just to generate a basic XML file. We wanted to change that. SiteMapr is completely free, requires no sign-up, and has no hidden paywalls. You enter a URL, we crawl your site, and you download your sitemap. It is that simple.
What SiteMapr Does
SiteMapr is an online XML sitemap generator that crawls your website and produces a complete, standards-compliant sitemap file ready for submission to search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo.
Our crawler visits every accessible page on your website, respects your robots.txt rules by default, and compiles the results into multiple export formats including XML, TXT, and CSV. The entire process takes just seconds for most websites.
- Fast Crawling: Our optimized crawler processes hundreds of pages in seconds using parallel requests and intelligent queue management.
- Robots.txt Compliance: By default, SiteMapr respects your website's robots.txt rules, ensuring ethical and responsible crawling.
- Multiple Export Formats: Download your sitemap as XML (industry standard for search engines), TXT (simple URL list), or CSV (for spreadsheet analysis).
- Configurable Depth and Scope: Set maximum pages, crawl depth, and choose whether to include subdomains for full control over the crawl.
- Real-Time Progress: Watch the crawl happen in real-time with a live progress indicator showing discovered URLs and current status.
- Continue Crawling: For larger sites, continue where you left off to crawl beyond the initial batch without starting over.
Why Sitemaps Matter for SEO
Search engines like Google use web crawlers to discover and index pages across the internet. While these crawlers are sophisticated, they can miss pages that are deeply nested, poorly linked, or brand new. An XML sitemap acts as a direct communication channel between your website and search engines, ensuring every important page has the opportunity to be indexed.
Google itself recommends sitemaps for websites with more than 500 pages, new websites with few backlinks, and sites with rich media content. Submitting a sitemap through Google Search Console can significantly accelerate the indexing of new content and help maintain comprehensive coverage of your site in search results.

Privacy and Data Handling
We take your privacy seriously. SiteMapr does not store the URLs it crawls or the sitemaps it generates. All data is processed in real-time during your session and discarded when you leave the page. We do not collect personal information beyond what is necessary for the service to function, and we never sell or share data with third parties.
