Free WordPress Sitemap Generator

Our WordPress sitemap generator builds your sitemap.xml from your site's own WordPress REST API. Enter your site URL and the tool probes /wp-json/wp/v2 to confirm the REST endpoint is reachable, then fetches posts, pages, categories, tags, and authors (per the checkboxes you toggle) directly. Each item arrives with its canonical link and last-modified timestamp, so the emitted XML is structured per content type with the priority and changefreq you set in the form.

When REST is disabled or locked behind authentication (a meaningful slice of WordPress sites), we fall back to a regular BFS crawl of up to 200 pages, parse each fetched page for the <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> tag, and exclude any noindex URLs from the sitemap automatically. Either way, we also detect whether your site already runs Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or All in One SEO, because those plugins emit their own sitemap that may conflict with the one we generate.

For SEOs

Our tool surfaces what your stack already does, so you can:

• Catch a plugin conflict before you point Search Console at the wrong sitemap
• Tune priority and changefreq per content type instead of accepting WordPress defaults
• See which URLs are silently excluded by noindex meta tags

For Developers

Our tool saves you writing a REST consumer, so you can:

• Generate a deploy-ready sitemap without enabling a third-party plugin
• Validate that your REST API exposes the content types you expect
• Confirm a custom WordPress install responds correctly before going live

Why Use Our WordPress Sitemap Generator

• REST API first: Faster, more structured, and content-type aware. Fewer HTTP fetches than a crawl, with per-type metadata Google can use.
• Honest fallback: When REST is unavailable we crawl up to 200 pages and explicitly tell you we fell back. No silent failure.
• Plugin and noindex aware: Detects Yoast, Rank Math, and All in One SEO so you do not ship a conflicting sitemap. Excludes noindex URLs honestly with a count.
