Core features
Five screens of Corbett Sitemap Generator, in working order.
Crawl
Type your home page address in the text field and press Crawl. Corbett follows internal links until every reachable page is listed.
Small sites and large sites work the same way and the History tab retains past crawls.
URL list
Every URL shows its status, type, charset, size, title, description, date and count of outgoing links. Every tab has a search bar above it.
Sitemap Pages tab shows what will land in your file.
Link checks
Select a URL and Sitemap Generator shows which pages link to it and where it points. Broken targets and redirect chains surface before search engines notice them.
Outgoing, incoming and external links get their own tabs and 301 and 302 hops are listed by page.
Settings
Settings decide what sitemap builder crawls and what it saves. Keep tag archives out, skip PDF files or crawl staging folders without listing them.
Use robots.txt file, Crawl but do not include, Add directly without parsing and Optimize for WordPress are all here.
Export
Export As saves the format you need. XML goes to Search Console, HTML gives visitors a page index and TXT suits quick lists.
Save Crawl Data retains your crawl so you can return to it later.
Working process
Four steps take you from website address to finished sitemap. Test them on 100 pages in free demo first.
