Sitemap Validator
Check sitemap.xml for well-formed XML, urlset, loc, changefreq and priority.
Paste your sitemap.xml and get a pass/fail report: well-formed XML, correct urlset namespace, every <url> has <loc>, valid changefreq, priority in 0–1, and ISO-formatted lastmod. Plus a total URL count.
Common use cases
- Sanity-check a sitemap before submitting to Search Console
- Diagnose 'sitemap could not be read' errors from Google or Bing
- Verify your CMS or generator is producing spec-compliant output
- Spot common typos in changefreq values or out-of-range priorities
Frequently asked questions
What sitemap format does this support?▾
The standard sitemaps.org/0.9 protocol (the urlset format). Sitemap index files and image/video extensions aren't deeply validated, but they won't crash the parser.
Why does Google say my sitemap is invalid even though this passes?▾
Google also checks that URLs return 200 and aren't blocked by robots.txt — neither of which we can test in your browser. Use this as a structural pre-flight check.
