Sitemap Checker

Validate your sitemap XML, inspect URL coverage, and catch technical issues that block efficient crawling.

Quickly see sitemap type, URL volume, and structural warnings before they hurt indexation.

Why Sitemap Health Matters

A clean sitemap helps search engines discover important pages faster. Broken formats, mixed protocols, and duplicate entries can reduce crawl efficiency and make indexation less predictable.

Best Practices

Serve sitemap files over HTTPS and keep URL entries canonical.
Use a sitemap index for large sites and split files by section if needed.
Keep only indexable, high-value pages in your sitemap.

FAQ

Can I submit only a sitemap index?

Yes. A sitemap index is often the best approach for larger websites with multiple sitemap files.

How often should I update my sitemap?

Update sitemaps whenever important URLs are added, removed, or significantly changed.
