How it works
Enter your site
Type your domain or the exact address of your sitemap. No signup required.
We find and read your sitemap
If you give the domain, we look in your robots.txt and the usual paths, then read the sitemap as the official protocol requires.
See what's wrong
We tell you whether it's well-formed, how many URLs it has and, on a sample, whether any are broken.
Frequently asked questions
What is a sitemap?
It's a file (usually yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml) that lists your site's pages so search engines and AIs can discover and crawl them better.
How is it different from robots.txt?
robots.txt says what bots may crawl (permissions). The sitemap is the list of your pages. They work together: robots.txt can point to where your sitemap is.
What is a sitemap index?
When you have many URLs, they're split into several sitemaps and an index points to all of them. Our tool detects it and adds up the URLs of each one.
Do you check all my URLs?
No: checking thousands would be slow. We take a random sample of about 25 and see whether they respond, to give you a quick signal of broken links.
How many URLs can a sitemap have?
The protocol allows up to 50,000 URLs and 50 MB per file. If you exceed that, split it into several sitemaps and use an index.
