How to create a visual site map of a large existing website?

Question

I need to evaluate the current existing site map and site structure. I usually use a patchwork of utilities and programs and ultimately create a visual site with either an illustrator or plug-ins for a browser-based solution. I started this journey again and realized that this site is too large to do it all manually. My “dream” solution would create an attractive website diagram, possibly from an XML file, and demonstrate cross-linking and this relationship. Icing on the cake would be if I could also get it in a mashup with google analytics traffic indicators, but it will probably be too much ... Any help appreciated ... Shawna

Do you need a sitemap for seo? We use the http://applehub.us/ huge XML file created using the script. I think it will be useless to create a site map for users

Launch the application, create a new project, enter the website URL and click the "Start" button. After the site is crawled, go to the "Visual Sitemap" tab and click the "Draw" button. The corresponding visual structure of the website will be created:

Click on a page to select all its outgoing links. Click the "Save" button to save the chart in the image file.
