Are my URLs sent to a server?

No. The tool builds the XML in your browser from the lines you paste. Your URL list never leaves your device.

Why were some of my lines skipped?

Lines that are empty or not valid http or https URLs are skipped, and the tool reports the count. If the same-domain filter is on, URLs from other domains are skipped too.

Do priority and changefreq still matter?

Google ignores both fields today, but some other crawlers read them. Include them if you want; they do not hurt. The loc and lastmod values matter more.

How often should I regenerate the sitemap?

Regenerate when you add, remove, or move pages. A sitemap with stale lastmod dates wastes crawl budget and can erode search engine trust in your dates.

What problem does this solve?

Search consoles want an XML sitemap, but building the urlset markup by hand is repetitive and easy to get wrong.

Built for: Site owners and SEO beginners who need a valid sitemap.xml for a small or medium site.

Worked example

Paste your page URLs one per line, or list paths such as /about with your base URL set.
Turn on lastmod so every entry gets today's date.
Set changefreq to weekly and priority to 0.8 for the pages that matter most.
Turn on the same-domain filter to drop any pasted URL that points to another site.
Download the XML file and submit it as sitemap.xml at your domain root.
