What is the XML Sitemap Validator?
XML Sitemap Validator is a free online tool that validate sitemap XML for parse errors, bad URLs, duplicates, lastmod dates, and the 50k limit.
An XML sitemap helps search engines discover important URLs. Invalid XML, duplicate locs, or oversized files can leave pages undiscovered or ignore lastmod signals.
Paste sitemap XML to catch structural issues before you submit the file in Google Search Console or Bing Webmaster Tools.
How to validate a sitemap
- Paste your sitemap.xml contents (or a sitemap index entry list).
- Review errors and warnings for parse issues, duplicates, and URL limits.
- Fix the file, re-upload, and resubmit in Search Console if needed.
