What Sitemap Checker does

The sitemap checker can start from a website URL or a known sitemap address. It discovers sitemap declarations, parses sitemap files and indexes, and reports malformed XML, duplicate locations, questionable lastmod values, and the URLs it finds.

The output separates document problems from URL checks, which helps when one sitemap index points to several child files. You can export the URL list for migration checks or compare it with the pages your site actually publishes.

Questions about Sitemap Checker

If your question is not covered here, send us a message and include the page, file, or result type you are working with.

Can this checker read a sitemap index?

Yes. It can parse an index, follow its sitemap files within the run limits, and keep document findings separate.

Does it submit the sitemap to Google?

No. It validates and exports the sitemap data. Submission remains in your search engine account or site configuration.

What does it check in lastmod?

It checks whether the value is present and parseable and reports values that deserve review. It cannot verify when your page content actually changed.
