XML sitemap validator
Enter the address of a sitemap to check that it is valid and clean.
What this checks
Loads the sitemap, checks it is valid XML, counts the URLs and looks for duplicates, http links and URLs on another host.
How to fix common problems
- Keep each sitemap under 50,000 URLs, or use a sitemap index.
- List only canonical, indexable URLs that return 200.
- Use https URLs on the same host as the sitemap.
