Why Validate Your Sitemap?
A broken or malformed sitemap can prevent search engines from properly indexing your website. Even small XML errors can cause the entire sitemap to be rejected, meaning your pages won't be discovered through the sitemap.
Our validator fetches your sitemap and checks it against the Sitemaps.org protocol standard. It verifies the XML structure, required elements, URL format, and counts — giving you a clear picture of your sitemap's health.
Regular sitemap validation is especially important for dynamic sites where the sitemap is auto-generated by CMS plugins. These generators can sometimes produce invalid XML after updates.
