Sitemap checker

Sitemap checker parses a sitemap URL and lists page addresses. Review sitemap coverage and nested indexes before checking the listed pages individually.

Sitemap checker: what this tool checks

Sitemap checker parses a submitted sitemap address and lists the URLs discovered by the sitemap parser. It follows nested sitemap references, making it useful for reviewing an index that separates pages into multiple sitemap files. The result helps you compare published URL coverage with your intended active content.

How to use it

  1. Enter the full address of the sitemap or sitemap index you want to review.
  2. Submit it and inspect the discovered URL count and destination list.
  3. Compare the entries with your active pages, then verify important addresses and any unexpected language or path variants.

Understanding your results

The count represents unique page URLs collected by the parser. It does not prove that those pages return a successful response, have the right canonical, or appear in a search engine. Use the actual sitemap address when available rather than assuming that every site publishes it at the same path.

Frequently asked questions

Does this submit my sitemap to a search engine?

No. The tool reads and reports sitemap content. It does not access your search console account, request indexing, or modify the published sitemap.

What should I investigate when a page is missing?

Check whether it is active, whether its template participates in sitemap generation, and whether a cache still serves an older file. Review the website's supported settings before changing its URL inventory.

Continue your review

Review crawl instructions with the Robots.txt checker, inspect preferred page URLs using the Canonical tag checker, and investigate unexpected destinations with the URL redirect checker.
