About Webmaster File Generator

One thing worth knowing before you use it: robots.txt controls crawling, not indexing. A blocked URL can still surface in results when something else links to it, and suppressing that needs a noindex tag instead.

Turn a list of your page URLs into a valid XML sitemap that helps search engines discover and index your pages. It is generated locally in your browser.

Build a robots.txt with crawl rules, a valid XML sitemap from your list of page URLs, and a .htaccess with HTTPS and www redirects plus common security options. These three files are the backbone of a well-configured, search-friendly website.

Copy the output and drop each file into your site's root. A correct robots.txt and sitemap help search engines crawl efficiently, while .htaccess rules enforce HTTPS and clean redirects.

Frequently asked questions

Will a sitemap make my pages rank better?

No. A sitemap helps pages be discovered, which is a different thing from being ranked. It is most valuable for large sites, new sites with few inbound links, and pages that are not well linked internally.

Which URLs should I include?

Only canonical, indexable ones that return 200. Listing redirects, 404s, or pages carrying noindex sends mixed signals and wastes crawl budget — a sitemap should be your statement of what matters.

Do priority and changefreq do anything?

Google ignores both; it has said so publicly. An accurate lastmod does get used, but only if it is honest — stamping every URL with today's date on each deploy teaches crawlers to distrust the whole file.

Common Use Cases
