Frequently Asked Questions
What does this validator check?
It checks that the XML is well-formed, the root is <urlset>, every <url> has a valid <loc>, and optional fields are valid.
Can I validate a sitemap by URL?
Yes, but some sites block cross-origin requests. If fetching fails, paste the XML content directly.
Does this validate against Google's schema?
This is a basic structural validator. For full schema validation, use Google Search Console or a dedicated SEO tool.
