SitemapXML

SitemapXML (https://sitemapxml.net) is a Web-based tool made by Hiox India that allows users to quickly and easily generate a sitemap without downloading any software. You’ll need to enter the URL for your site, the last date it was modified, the frequency at which it changes and an email address if you want to receive the sitemap via email. SitemapXML generates Entensible Markup Language (XML), Resources of a Resource (ROR) and text sitemaps that can be used by a number of different search engines.

Free Sitemap Generator

Free Sitemap Generator (https://www.freesitemapgenerator.com) is also a web-based tool, but you must create an account in order to generate a sitemap. You can use Free Sitemap Generator to create sitemaps for websites that contain up to 5,000 pages. You’ll be notified via email when your sitemap has been generated – which is good because the service can sometimes be a little bit slow. One nice feature of Free Sitemap Generator is that there is a server monitoring area on the company’s homepage that shows if the server is experiencing heavy usage, which could result in longer sitemap generation times. Another added feature is that you can specify if your sitemap is high priority or “premium-high” priority. Higher-priority jobs will be completed more quickly than normal-priority jobs. Premium accounts are available if you’re interested in extra features, such as autogeneration of a new sitemap every three weeks.
