Free Sitemap URL Extractor

A sitemap.xml is an XML file that lists all the important URLs on a website. It helps search engines like Google and Bing discover and crawl pages efficiently. Sitemaps can also include metadata like when each page was last modified (lastmod), how often it changes (changefreq), and its relative importance (priority from 0.0 to 1.0).

A sitemap index file is a special sitemap that links to multiple individual sitemaps instead of listing URLs directly. Large websites use this to split URLs across multiple files (each capped at 50,000 URLs). This tool automatically detects sitemap index files and recursively fetches every child sitemap, combining all URLs into one result.

Browsers block cross-origin requests (CORS policy). This tool routes fetches through a CORS proxy. If the proxy also fails — because the server blocks bots, requires authentication, or returns an error — switch to the Paste XML tab. Open the sitemap URL directly in your browser, use Ctrl+S (Save as) or copy the page source, then paste the XML here.

lastmod — date the page was last modified (ISO 8601 format, e.g. 2024-03-15).
changefreq — hint at how often the page changes: always, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, never.
priority — a float from 0.0 to 1.0 indicating the URL's importance relative to other URLs on the site (default 0.5). Note: Google largely ignores changefreq and priority in modern crawling.

After extracting URLs, click Download .csv. The file includes four columns: URL, Last Modified, Change Frequency, and Priority. Perfect for importing into Google Sheets, Excel, SEO auditing tools, or processing with scripts.

Try these common locations: https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml, https://yoursite.com/sitemap_index.xml, or https://yoursite.com/robots.txt (look for a Sitemap: directive). WordPress sites typically use /wp-sitemap.xml. Google Search Console also shows your registered sitemaps under Coverage → Sitemaps.
