XML sitemap checker
A sitemap is the list of pages you hand to Google. If it is missing, out of date or pointing at the wrong domain, new pages get found late or not at all.
How it works
How to use the xML sitemap checker
- Enter your domain, or paste the sitemap address if you know it.
- PLUTO looks where Google looks: robots.txt first, then /sitemap.xml and /sitemap_index.xml.
- It counts the pages and checks the common mistakes, one line each.
- A sample of the listed pages is shown so you can see what Google is being given.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do small websites need a sitemap?
A five-page site that links every page from the menu will be found anyway. A sitemap still helps Google notice new and changed pages sooner, and most website builders make one for free.
Where do I find my sitemap?
WordPress with Yoast or Rank Math: /sitemap_index.xml. Wix, Squarespace and Shopify: /sitemap.xml. This tool tries those addresses for you.
What is a sitemap index?
A sitemap of sitemaps. Big sites split pages into several files and list them in one index. This tool reads up to three of the child files.
Should every page be in the sitemap?
Only the pages you want found on Google. Leave out thank-you pages, cart pages and anything marked noindex.
