Validate sitemap XML structure, detect errors and SEO issues.
Validate any XML sitemap instantly. Enter a sitemap URL or paste raw XML to check structure, namespace, URL count, duplicate entries, invalid changefreq or priority values, malformed dates, and Google's 50,000 URL limit. Supports both regular sitemaps and sitemap index files.
Sitemap Validator offers a streamlined way to check XML sitemaps directly in your browser without needing specialized desktop software or installations. It instantly analyzes sitemap structures, detects duplicate entries, catches malformed dates or invalid values, and verifies compliance with Google's 50,000 URL limit. With both URL input and raw XML pasting supported, it provides a fast, no-cost method for checking regular sitemaps and index files.
Good to know: For extremely large sitemap networks or automated CI/CD pipeline validations, a command-line utility or integrated build tool may be more appropriate.
Quickly validate your XML sitemap for structure, SEO errors, and Google compliance using this free online tool.
