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

  1. Find your sitemap URL — it is usually https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml and is listed in your robots.txt.
  2. Paste the full URL (including https://) into the box and click Parse sitemap.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is this sitemap parser free?
Yes. The sitemap parser is free to use with no login and no credit card. You paste an XML sitemap URL and the page fetches and parses it for you on our server.
What kinds of sitemaps does it support?
It supports standard XML sitemaps. If the URL points to a sitemap index (a <sitemapindex> that links to other sitemaps) the tool lists the child sitemaps. If it points to a regular sitemap (a <urlset>) it lists the page URLs with their lastmod, changefreq and priority.
How many URLs can it show?
The parser returns up to 1,000 entries per sitemap and tells you the true total when a sitemap is larger, so you always know how many URLs the file contains even if only the first part is listed.
Can I parse sitemaps programmatically?
For automated crawling and indexation workflows at scale, use the Kwinside API. The SERP and Competitors endpoints give you ranking and visibility data for the URLs you discover in a sitemap.
