Sitemap Parser
Paste the URL of an XML sitemap and inspect it instantly. The parser detects whether the file is a sitemap index or a regular URL set, then lists the child sitemaps or the page URLs along with their lastmod, changefreq and priority. Useful for checking crawlability and indexation before and after a site change.
How to use
- Find your sitemap URL — it is usually
https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xmland is listed in yourrobots.txt. - Paste the full URL (including
https://) into the box and click Parse sitemap. - If the file is a sitemap index, you will get the list of child sitemaps. Open any one of them in the tool to drill down.
- If the file is a URL set, you will see each page URL with its last-modified date, change frequency and priority.
Why use it
Your XML sitemap is how you tell search engines which URLs matter and how often they change, so it sits at the heart of crawl budget and indexation. Inspecting it lets you confirm that the right pages are listed, spot stale lastmod dates, catch a sitemap index that points to missing children, and verify a deployment did not drop or duplicate URLs. This parser fetches the file server-side and validates that it is well-formed XML with a proper <urlset> or <sitemapindex> root, so you can audit a site's crawlability and indexation in seconds.
