Sitemap Validator
Check any sitemap for XML errors, bad URLs, duplicates and sitemap-protocol limits — before you hand it to Google or Bing.
Enter a site host above and we fill in its sitemap URL (https://<host>/sitemap.xml) for you. Your sitemap is fetched for this check only and is never stored on a server.
Paste a sitemap URL to validate it.
We check the XML, the sitemap namespace, every URL, every lastmod date, duplicates, and the 50,000 URL / 50MB limits.

Sitemap index — child sitemaps
This is a sitemap index file. Validate each child sitemap on its own to check all of its URLs.
Issues
What a valid sitemap looks like
- Well-formed XML using the sitemap namespace (http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9).
- Every <loc> is a complete absolute URL starting with http:// or https://.
- Every <lastmod> is a date (YYYY-MM-DD) or a full date-time.
- No duplicate URLs, and no more than 50,000 URLs or 50MB (uncompressed) in a single sitemap file.
