XML Sitemap Validator

Check your sitemap for errors, warnings, and compliance with search engine standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the XML Sitemap Validator check?

It checks the sitemap XML format, URL entries (duplicates, overly long URLs, the 50,000-URL limit) and common issues that can make search engines ignore or misread a sitemap.

Do I need to upload a file to validate a sitemap?

No. You can validate a sitemap URL directly, which is usually the fastest way to check the published file search engines will crawl.
