Generate XML Sitemap

Updated June 23, 2026 Applies to: Windows 10, Windows 11, KWT Spider 1.3 Error 301

Problem

XML sitemap export is missing URLs, splits incorrectly, or fails validation.

Symptoms

Exported sitemap has fewer URLs than the crawl
Multiple sitemap files not linked with sitemap index
Google Search Console rejects the file
Non-indexable URLs included in output

Cause

Export filters not configured, sitemap size limit exceeded without index file, or noindex/canonical URLs not excluded.

Resolution

1After crawl: Report → Export → XML Sitemap. Open export options before saving.
2Enable "Exclude noindex URLs" and "Exclude redirected URLs" unless you need them.
3Set max URLs per file to 50,000. Spider 1.3 auto-generates a sitemap index when splitting.
4Validate at search.google.com/search-console or an online XML sitemap validator before uploading.

For step-by-step usage, see Documentation → Sitemap Export
