Quick answers about XML sitemaps, sitemap indexes, URL counts, lastmod tags, and SEO crawling.
What does this sitemap checker test?
It checks whether an XML sitemap is accessible and reports status code, URL count, sitemap index status, sample URLs, lastmod usage, and a sitemap preview.
Why are XML sitemaps important?
XML sitemaps help search engines discover important URLs, especially on larger sites or websites with deeper content structures.

A sitemap index is a sitemap file that points to multiple child sitemap files. WordPress and SEO plugins often use this format.
