About sitemap validation
Sitemaps help search engines discover canonical URLs. This validator checks pasted XML or plain URL lists for common issues before you submit a sitemap in Search Console.
Common uses
- Count sitemap URLs
- Find duplicate loc entries
- Flag invalid URL formats
- Review sitemap output before submission
Notes
This validator checks structure and URL format only. It does not crawl URLs or confirm whether each page returns a successful response.
Examples
Review a plain URL list
Paste one URL per line when you want a quick duplicate and validity check without XML.
FAQ
Does this submit my sitemap to Google?ShowHide
No. It only validates pasted content. Submit the final sitemap in Google Search Console.
Can a sitemap guarantee indexing?ShowHide
No. A sitemap helps discovery, but Google still decides whether each URL should be indexed.
What URL format should sitemap loc entries use?ShowHide
Use absolute HTTP or HTTPS URLs, preferably canonical URLs that return a successful response.
