Validate an XML sitemap, detect common errors and review URLs before submitting it to search engines.
A Sitemap Validator checks whether an XML sitemap can be downloaded and parsed correctly. It reviews the sitemap structure and helps identify common problems such as invalid URLs, duplicate entries, malformed last modification dates and unsupported optional values.
EKO24.NET Sitemap Validator supports standard URL sitemaps and sitemap index files.
A clean sitemap helps search engines discover the URLs you want them to crawl. Validation can reveal formatting mistakes before you submit a sitemap to search engine webmaster tools. A valid sitemap does not guarantee that every listed page will be crawled or indexed, because search engines use additional signals when deciding what to crawl and index.
The validator checks XML parsing, the required sitemap root element, HTTP/HTTPS URL formatting, duplicate locations, lastmod formatting and common optional priority and changefreq values. It also reports the number of entries and the XML file size received by the tool.
No. A sitemap helps discovery but does not guarantee crawling or indexing. Search engines evaluate each URL using their own systems and signals.
Yes. The tool recognizes both standard URL sitemaps and sitemap index files.
No. The tool downloads the public sitemap for validation and does not modify your website or sitemap file.
