Introducing Sitemap Checker: Find All Sitemaps on Any Website
Ever wondered how many sitemaps a website has? Or tried to find a sitemap only to discover it's not at the standard /sitemap.xml location? We built Sitemap Checker to solve exactly this problem.
The Challenge of Finding Sitemaps
Sitemaps are crucial for SEO—they tell search engines which pages to crawl and index. But finding them isn't always straightforward:
- Some sites use
/sitemap.xml, others use/sitemap_index.xml - WordPress sites often have
/wp-sitemap.xml - Some sites only reference sitemaps in
robots.txt - Large sites use sitemap indexes that contain multiple child sitemaps
- Many sites have sitemaps at unconventional paths
Manually checking all these locations is tedious and time-consuming.
How Sitemap Checker Works
Our tool automates the entire discovery process:
1. Check robots.txt
First, we fetch the site's robots.txt file and parse any Sitemap: directives. This is the most reliable way to find sitemaps since search engines check here first.
User-agent: *
Allow: /
Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml
Sitemap: https://example.com/news-sitemap.xml2. Scan Common Paths
We check 15+ common sitemap locations including:
/sitemap.xml/sitemap_index.xml/wp-sitemap.xml(WordPress)/sitemap/sitemap-index.xml/sitemaps/sitemap.xml- And many more...
3. Validate XML Structure
For each found sitemap, we validate its XML structure and determine if it's:
- A regular sitemap with
<url>entries - A sitemap index with
<sitemap>entries pointing to child sitemaps
4. Count URLs
We recursively process sitemap indexes and count the total number of URLs across all sitemaps. For large sites, this can reveal thousands of indexed pages.
