Sitemap Checker

Sitemap Checker fetches a domain's sitemap.xml (or a direct sitemap URL you provide), confirms it is valid XML with a real <urlset> or <sitemapindex> root, counts the URLs listed, and spot-checks a handful of them for a real response.

Use this after generating or updating a sitemap to confirm it is actually valid before submitting it to Search Console, when pages do not seem to be getting crawled and the sitemap itself is a suspect, or just to see how many URLs a site is currently declaring.

Only a small sample of listed URLs is checked for reachability, not the entire file, both to keep this fast and to avoid a public tool being usable to mass-crawl a large site's full URL list in one request.
