About the XML Sitemap Checker

An XML sitemap is the list of pages you want search engines to crawl and index. WordPress SEO plugins like Yoast and Rank Math generate one automatically (often at /sitemap_index.xml or /sitemap.xml), and it's what you submit in Google Search Console.

This tool locates a site's sitemap, counts the URLs it contains, and flags common problems — a missing sitemap, an empty one, or entries that don't match the site — so search engines can find all of your content.

How to use it

1Enter your domain.
2Run the check to locate the sitemap and see how many URLs it lists.
3Submit the sitemap URL in Google Search Console if you haven't already.

What it checks

Sitemap URL: Where the sitemap (or sitemap index) was found, e.g. /sitemap_index.xml.
URL count: How many pages the sitemap lists across all its sub-sitemaps.
Last modified: When the sitemap was last regenerated — it should update as you publish.
Issues: Common problems like a missing sitemap, empty index, or noindex conflicts.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the WordPress sitemap?

Yoast uses /sitemap_index.xml, Rank Math uses /sitemap_index.xml too, and WordPress core exposes /wp-sitemap.xml. This tool checks the common locations.

Do I need to submit my sitemap to Google?

It helps Google discover pages faster. Add the sitemap URL under Sitemaps in Google Search Console once.

Why is a page missing from my sitemap?

It may be set to noindex, excluded in your SEO plugin, or too new — sitemaps regenerate periodically.
