How it works

Validate pasted sitemap XML and list the URLs or child sitemap locations it contains.

Use it to verify the basic structure and listed locations of pasted sitemap XML.

Example

Inspect a urlset and list every loc value without requesting any of the URLs.

Notes

  • This tool validates pasted sitemap XML only. It does not fetch remote URLs.
  • Supports both <urlset> and <sitemapindex> roots.
  • Structural checks are intentionally practical rather than fully schema-driven.

Constraints

  • Parses sitemap XML text without fetching listed URLs or nested sitemap files.
  • Limit: 3 MiB input. Nothing is uploaded or silently truncated.

Common errors

  • Wrong root element
  • Unclosed root
  • Missing loc entries

When to use it

Formats: urlset, sitemapindex, Namespaced loc elements.
