Indexation Validator

XML Sitemap Validator

Validate one pasted or uploaded sitemap document at a time before or after publish. This v1 checks the XML structure and row-level sitemap hygiene only. It does not fetch remote files or crawl discovered URLs.

Checks include XML parseability, sitemap type detection, required <loc> values, absolute URL format, duplicates, optional <lastmod> parsing, and mixed host or protocol warnings.

What this checks

  • urlset versus sitemapindex root detection
  • Malformed XML that would break sitemap parsing
  • Missing or invalid absolute <loc> values
  • Duplicate URLs after normalization
  • Optional <lastmod> parsing plus mixed host or protocol warnings
