Sitemap Validator

Validate pasted or uploaded sitemap XML locally. Free, private, runs in your browser.

100% private — your files and text never leave your browser. All processing happens locally on your device.

Validates the XML you paste or upload only — does not fetch sitemap URLs, crawl pages, or call a remote service.

Validate XML You Provide

Sitemap Validator checks pasted or uploaded XML only. It never fetches a sitemap URL, crawls listed pages, submits URLs, or calls a remote SEO API, which keeps the workflow local and predictable.

Urlset And Sitemap Index Checks

The validator recognizes standard urlset and sitemapindex roots, checks required loc values, validates common optional fields, and flags entry-count and uncompressed-size protocol limits.

What This Does Not Check

Live status codes, redirects, canonical tags, robots directives, indexability, and Search Console state require remote crawling or account access. Those checks are intentionally outside this local validator.

FAQ

Does the Sitemap Validator fetch my sitemap URL?

No. It only validates XML that you paste or upload. It never fetches a sitemap URL, crawls listed URLs, or calls a remote validation API.

What sitemap types are checked?

The validator checks standard <urlset> sitemaps and <sitemapindex> files, including required loc values and common optional fields such as lastmod, changefreq, and priority.

Does it verify that listed URLs are live?

No. URL availability, redirects, indexing, robots rules, and canonical signals require crawling or remote checks, which are intentionally out of scope for this local tool.

Can I upload a sitemap file?

Yes. Upload a .xml or .txt file, or paste XML directly into the editor. The file is read as text in your browser.

What limits does it check?

Convertful flags empty sitemaps, parse errors, invalid root elements, non-http loc values, unusual namespaces, bad dates, priority values outside 0.0-1.0, and 50,000-entry/50 MB protocol limits.
