XML sitemap validator.

Check your sitemap for errors and see what to fix before submitting it to search engines.

Add your sitemap

A domain checks /sitemap.xml. Other websites may block browser access; paste or upload the XML instead.

UTF-8 XML only, up to 3 MB (3,000,000 bytes). Unzip .gz files first. Child sitemaps are not downloaded.

URL checks contact the website directly. Paste and uploads stay in your browser. Nothing is saved; refreshing clears your work.

Your sitemap check

Add a sitemap to get started, or try Example.

    Checks standard XML fields, not live page status, indexing or image, video and news extensions. This is a format check, not a guarantee of indexing.

    This XML sitemap validator helps website owners find problems before submitting a sitemap to search engines. Check the standard structure, required location tags, URL format and optional dates, priorities and change frequencies. Each finding explains the problem and the change to make, with an entry number and source line where available.

    Malformed XML, missing locations and invalid field values appear in red. Warnings identify duplicate links and items worth reviewing. The 3 MB limit belongs to this tool; the sitemap protocol allows larger files.
