This is a free website mapping tool. Enter your website address (or paste your sitemap.xml) and it instantly draws your site structure as a visual tree, counts your pages by section, and flags how deep your content is buried. In address mode only the website address is sent to my server so it can read the public sitemap; in paste mode nothing leaves your browser at all.

Short answer: to map a website, type its address into the box below and press Map this website; the tool reads the sitemap for you (or paste the sitemap contents if you prefer). You get a visual tree of every section, page counts per folder, and your deepest pages, in under a second, free, with no signup.
Or paste a sitemap or a list of URLs below.
How to use this website mapping tool
- Type the website address into the first box and press Map this website. The tool finds the sitemap itself (robots.txt, sitemap.xml, sitemap_index.xml or wp-sitemap.xml) and, if there is none, maps the links on the homepage instead.
- Prefer to keep everything local? Open your sitemap yourself, copy it, and paste it into the second box. A plain list of URLs works too, one per line.
- Either way you get the visual tree, page counts per section and the depth warning in a few seconds.
- Press Copy outline to take the full indented map into a doc, a brief or a migration plan.

What the results tell you
The tree shows how your content is actually organised, which is often not how you remember building it. The three things worth acting on: sections holding one or two stray pages (consolidate them), important pages sitting more than three clicks deep (surface them with internal links), and sections so large they dominate the whole site (split or curate them). Depth matters because search engines crawl from the homepage outward, and pages buried four or more levels down get found later and ranked less often.
Why this tool is different
Most website mapping tools crawl your site from their servers, which means waiting, accounts, quotas and your URL list sitting in someone else's database. This one reads the sitemap the site already publishes, with no signup, no account and no quota, and the paste mode never uploads anything. It is deliberately simple: structure, counts and depth, the three things you actually use from a site map.

Frequently asked questions
Is this website mapping tool really free?
Yes. No signup, no email, no quota. In address mode the only thing sent to my server is the address you typed; in paste mode nothing leaves your browser.
Where do I find my sitemap.xml?
Try yoursite.com/sitemap.xml first, then /sitemap_index.xml, then /wp-sitemap.xml on WordPress. If those fail, open yoursite.com/robots.txt, which usually lists the sitemap location on its last line. If your site has no sitemap at all, you can build your sitemap with this free tool and upload the file to your root folder.
My sitemap is split into several files. What do I paste?
A sitemap index lists child sitemaps. Open each child (posts, pages, categories), copy their contents and paste them all into the box together. The tool merges and deduplicates them automatically.
How many URLs can it handle?
Tens of thousands. The on-screen tree shows the first 600 rows to keep the page fast; the copied outline always contains the complete map.
What is a good site depth?
Keep the pages you care about within three clicks of the homepage. Deeper than that, crawlers reach them less often and users rarely do at all. Fix depth with internal links from strong pages, not by flattening every URL.
