Verified Utility

XML sitemaps provide search engine bots with a complete index of all canonical pages on a domain. Validating sitemaps ensures no malformed XML tags, missing location URLs, or 404 pages disrupt crawling.

How it works
1
Provide sitemap URL

Enter your site's sitemap.xml or sitemapindex.xml URL.

2
We parse the XML structure

Extracting every <loc>, <lastmod>, and priority tag.

3
Review listed URLs

Filter and inspect every page submitted to search engines.

What it checks
XML syntax validity and root element verification (<urlset> vs <sitemapindex>)
Location URL extraction (<loc>)
Last modified dates (<lastmod>) and priority directives
