Sitemap Checker

Sitemap Checker by Small SEO Studio analyzes your XML sitemap to ensure search engines can efficiently discover and index your website pages. Errors inside a sitemap can delay indexing, waste crawl budget, and reduce visibility.

Why XML Sitemaps Matter

An XML sitemap acts as a structured roadmap for search engine crawlers. It highlights important URLs and helps search engines understand your site structure. For deeper crawl diagnostics, combine this tool with our Crawlability Test.

• Improved crawl efficiency – Guides bots to priority pages.
• Better indexation – Ensures important URLs are included.
• Error detection – Identifies broken or redirected links.
• Structure validation – Confirms proper XML formatting.
