Sitemap Checker

Fetches /sitemap.xml directly and checks that it exists, loads as valid XML, and reports how many pages (or child sitemaps) it lists — never recursively fetches a sitemap index's children.

Make sure search engines have a direct, complete list of your pages to discover.

We'll check your site's homepage — this usually takes a few seconds.

How this works

This fetches your /sitemap.xml directly and checks that it loads and parses as valid XML. We fetch your homepage directly — never Google Search or Google Maps — analyze the HTML and response ourselves, and never invent a fact we can't actually check. Where something is estimated rather than directly confirmed, it's labeled that way.

  • The website you provide

    Computed entirely from what you told us — nothing looked up externally.

Questions about this tool

Just your homepage, on purpose — that keeps results fast and every finding traceable to something we actually fetched, rather than an unbounded crawl of your whole site.
