What the sitemap checker validates

Checks

  • sitemap.xml and child sitemap availability
  • XML validity, URL counts, and HTTP statuses
  • whether the sitemap is referenced in robots.txt and avoids non-canonical or blocked pages

Example result

The tool can detect a sitemap index, count URLs, list child sitemaps, and flag pages returning 404 or pointing canonical tags elsewhere.

Common mistakes

  • dev or staging URLs remain in the sitemap
  • noindex pages or URLs with canonicals to another page are included
  • sitemap is not referenced in robots.txt after a migration

Who uses it

  • SEO teams after releases
  • developers generating sitemaps
  • owners of catalogs and e-commerce sites

Sitemap FAQ

Should every page be in the sitemap?

No. Include only canonical pages that should be indexed.

What should I do with 404 URLs in a sitemap?

Remove the URL from the sitemap or restore the page if it should remain live.
