Sitemap QA
Use the Sitemap URL Checker to verify that submitted URLs are actually indexable
A sitemap helps discovery, but it does not guarantee indexing. Search engines still need each listed URL to be live, crawlable, canonicalized correctly, and worth indexing. This checker is for testing sitemap samples before or after submitting them.
It is especially useful when GSC or Bing says a sitemap was read successfully but only some URLs are indexed. The problem is often not the sitemap file itself, but the quality or technical state of the URLs inside it.
Recommended workflow
Paste the most important sitemap URLs first, not every URL. Remove obsolete entries, fix blockers, and resubmit the sitemap after changes. For new sites, use sitemap success as a discovery signal, then monitor actual indexed counts separately.
What this check reviews
- Whether sampled sitemap URLs return a clean HTTP status.
- robots.txt and noindex blockers for sitemap entries.
- Canonical targets that may point away from listed URLs.
- Batch-level patterns across the submitted URL set.
Sitemap problems this can reveal
- Sitemap URLs redirect to different canonical pages.
- Old URLs remain listed after a migration or cleanup.
- Thin pages are submitted even though they have little unique value.
- Important pages are listed but not internally linked.
