XML Sitemap Validator: Check Your Sitemap for Errors

An XML Sitemap Validator helps website owners check whether an XML sitemap follows a recognizable sitemap structure. A sitemap lists important URLs that search engines can use to discover website content. Checking its format before submission can help you identify malformed XML, missing location tags, duplicate URLs, and other common issues.

Use this free tool to paste your sitemap XML or upload an XML file, review validation results, and download a report. The tool checks the XML in your browser, so you can inspect the structure without sending your sitemap content to a separate validation service.
