Example Use Cases

- Check all URLs use HTTPS and don't contain broken links
- Ensure sitemap follows the standard schema before a site migration
- Validate sitemap index files that reference multiple sub-sitemaps
Common Issues
XML parsing errors: Unescaped characters like &, <, > in URLs will break XML parsing. Escape them properly or wrap in CDATA sections.
Too many URLs: Sitemaps are limited to 50,000 URLs and 50MB uncompressed. Split large sites into a sitemap index with multiple sub-sitemaps.
