Guide and interpretation

How to use this check

Enter a public site URL to check /sitemap.xml without submitting it to a search engine.

SitePulse derives /sitemap.xml from the origin and parses only a capped response body.

How to interpret the result

A valid sitemap helps discovery, but it does not guarantee indexing or ranking.

Example

A sitemap with canonical HTTPS URLs and recent lastmod values gives crawlers cleaner discovery signals.

Common issues and next steps

Sitemaps often point at staging hosts, blocked URLs or stale HTTP canonicals after migrations.

Regenerate from canonical production routes and validate before Search Console submission.

Methodology and limits

The free check does not crawl every URL inside the sitemap.

FAQ

Can I paste a custom sitemap URL?

The free check uses same-origin /sitemap.xml only to keep SSRF controls simple.

Does valid XML mean indexed?

No. Indexing also depends on content quality, crawlability, canonical signals and search engine decisions.
