Wednesday 24 February 2016
Sitemap generator updates We’ve been fixing and patching a couple of issues over the last few weeks, here is a quick round up of issues that we’ve looked at : Online Sitemap Generator When trying to spider certain secure websites a number of users experienced the error : “The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.” To resolve this issues we have added support for more HTTPS protocols including deprecated protocols.
📌 Minor updates and fixes applied
Sunday 20 December 2015
Minor updates and fixes applied We’ve made some minor updates to our spider for the online and windows version of our sitemap generator. Binary files Binary files such as Word Document, Adobe PDF, etc. previously just showed the HTTP server response such as “Ok”. We now simply show the filename of such files. Domain names We have relaxed validation on domain names so it is not essential to use punycode. You can therefore decide which domain name you want to use for your sitemap.
📌 Sitemap Ping Service Update
Thursday 29 October 2015
Sitemap Ping Service Update Based on valuable user feedback, over the last week or so we’ve been making a number of improvements to the ping services as part of ongoing enhancements to the service. Some users experienced problems with the ping form not being automatically populated after generating their sitemap. We’ve resolved this so that it now shows all the details about your website ready for pinging. The form will automatically include website name, RSS and XML Sitemap urls.

📌 Updated version now online
Thursday 29 January 2015
Updated version now online We’ve released a minor update to fix a number of minor issues in our online XML Sitemap Generator. Select page title element When we generate HTML and RSS sitemaps we previously used the <title> tag which didn’t suit many users. We have now made this configurable and made the default value the <h1> tag. To change this setting use the “more settings” button. Other fixes Fix : Unable to edit extensions list
📌 Minor update to the 2000 page limit
Thursday 11 September 2014
Minor update to the 2000 page limit A short time ago we increased the sitemap page limit from 1000 to 2000. This limit applies to the number of pages in a sitemap. In larger websites we sometimes find they have many errors in some cases 10,000s of links with errors e.g. a 404 not found.. In these cases our spider was often crawling 10'000s of pages before it hit the 2000 sitemap page limit.
📌 New gTLD support and URL limit increased
Monday 1 September 2014
New gTLD support and URL limit increased We’ve updated the domain validation to allow for new gTLDs (generic Top Level Domains) which are longer than the more traditional ones.So whether you are a .com or a .photography you can use the sitemap generator. As well as this we have increased the sitemap url limit from 1000 to 2000 to cater for larger websites.
📌 Filter and save your sitemap
Sunday 15 June 2014
Filter and save your sitemap In this latest release we’ve added features to make it easier for you to filter out urls and images you want to exclude from your sitemap using pattern based matching as well as the ability to save your sitemap settings. Filtering When using “more settings” option you can enter patterns of URLs to exclude for files and images. Use can use simple filter strings as illustrated below, or more complex regular expressions.
📌 Improved HTML sitemaps format
Wednesday 30 April 2014
Improved HTML sitemaps format We’ve improved and simplified the HTML sitemap feature. Your pages will now display in a simplified hierarchy based on the order in which our spider finds them, instead of the flat list. We also removed the URL to keep the list simpler.
