Enter your site and we'll find your sitemap, check its structure, count its URLs, and confirm a sample are live — no signup. Then audit every URL in it.
Instant, free, no account needed — we locate and check your sitemap.
The instant check validates the essentials. A full audit then checks every single URL in your sitemap.
Located via robots.txt or /sitemap.xml and successfully fetched.
A proper <urlset> or sitemap-index root that search engines can parse.
How many URLs the sitemap declares — an empty sitemap helps nobody.
All listed URLs should be https on an https site — no http leftovers.
We fetch a sample to confirm they return 200, not redirects or 404s.
Sign up to check every URL for canonical, noindex and status issues.
A clean sitemap helps Google crawl efficiently and index the right pages. Here's how to maintain one.
Your sitemap is a list of "please index these." Don't include redirected URLs, 404s, noindex pages, or non-canonical variants — they send mixed signals and waste crawl budget. Every entry should be the canonical version, return 200, and be indexable.
Add a Sitemap: https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml line to robots.txt so crawlers find it automatically, and submit it in Google Search Console to monitor coverage and errors.
Each sitemap caps at 50,000 URLs / 50MB uncompressed. Past that, use a sitemap index that points to multiple child sitemaps. Keeping them logically split (by section or type) also makes coverage problems easier to diagnose.
Generate the sitemap dynamically so new pages appear and deleted ones disappear automatically. A stale sitemap full of removed URLs erodes trust in the whole file. Re-validate after any major content or URL-structure change.
The reverse problem matters too: indexable pages missing from the sitemap may be under-crawled. A full crawl compares your live indexable pages against the sitemap and flags the gaps in both directions.
A file (usually /sitemap.xml) listing the URLs you want search engines to crawl and index. It helps Google discover pages, especially on large sites, and signals your canonical URLs.
Malformed XML, non-canonical or redirected or 404 URLs, mixed http/https, noindex pages, or not being declared in robots.txt. A sitemap should contain only canonical, indexable, 200-status URLs.
At the site root (e.g. /sitemap.xml), declared in robots.txt, and submitted in Search Console. For big sites, use a sitemap index pointing to child sitemaps (max 50,000 URLs each).
Only the indexable, canonical, 200-status pages you want ranked. Leave out redirects, noindex pages and duplicates. Run a full audit to check every URL in both directions.
Free to start. Crawl your site and catch every bad sitemap entry.
