SiteMap Generator

SiteMap Generator is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you automatically generate sitemaps based on the extracted URLs and export them to XML, plain text file, HTML or CSV file format.

You are welcomed by a multi-tabbed layout that allows you to easily switch between the main features of the utility, namely configuration settings for extracting links, XML, plain text, HTML or CSV saving options, list with failed URLs, as well as list with outbound (external) links than point to other sites.

There’s also support for an online help manual that provides detailed information about the application’s features.

SiteMap Generator allows you to generate a sitemap by providing details about the domain name. Rookies may simply press the ‘Start’ button and go to one of the saving tabs in order to view the extracted links.

Tests have shown that the tool is quite fast when it comes to extracting links without being a resource hog. However, if you are talking about large websites, the entire process may take hours.

Advanced users may tweak the crawling task in detail and build up a list with start pages, skip webpages that include user-defined words in the URLs, and grab pages that embed only certain words in the links.

You may start, pause or stop the process, check out information about the number of scanned pages, pages to scan, current speed and elapsed time, and read the log that includes details about all the performed actions and possible errors.

SiteMap Generator helps you save the extracted links to XML, TXT, HTML or CSV file format or copy data to the clipboard. There’s also support for HTML preview mode, and you may copy the list with failed and external URLs to the clipboard.

The link manager can be used for viewing all the URLs grabbed from a website, previewing each link, and sending links to the failed, sitemap or outbound list.

Several configuration settings give you the power to specify the maximum file size of each page, maximum number of characters embedded in URLs, server response time, and delay between pages. Plus, you can make the program automatically stop the process after a certain number of crawled pages and pause for several seconds after grabbing a given number of webpages.

SiteMap Generator provides a straightforward software solution and integrates an easy-to-work-with environment for helping you create a sitemap without wasting too much time on configuring an endless number of settings.
