FAQ

How do I check my sitemap.xml file?

Drop your sitemap.xml onto the upload area, or click it to browse. The file content loads into the editor. Click Check to scan for problems. Each result shows the line number, the code on that line, and a short note on what is wrong.

What does the checker catch?

It catches XML syntax errors, wrong or missing namespace declarations, <url> entries without a <loc> tag, relative or malformed URLs, duplicate <loc> values, badly formatted <lastmod> dates, out-of-range <priority> values, invalid <changefreq> entries, unescaped & characters, and URL count or file size limits.

What do the red and yellow highlights mean?

Red marks errors โ€” problems that stop search engines from reading the file. Yellow marks warnings โ€” issues that hurt crawl efficiency but do not block parsing.

Can I edit the file and re-check?

Yes. The editor is fully editable. Fix a problem, click Check again, and the highlights and issue list refresh right away.

Is my file sent to a server?

No. The file is read by your browser and never leaves your machine. All checking runs locally.

What if I want to paste sitemap XML instead of uploading a file?

Use the sitemap XML checker to paste content directly into an editor.
