Frequently asked questions

Is Sitemap Validator free to use?
Yes. Sitemap Validator is available on the free plan with 20 daily runs. Paid plans add higher quotas for repeat work.
What are the most common sitemap errors?
URLs that return anything other than 200, URLs blocked in robots.txt, and files exceeding the 50,000 URL or 50 MB limits.
Should a sitemap contain every URL?
Only canonical, indexable ones. Listing noindex, redirected or duplicate URLs wastes crawl budget and weakens the file's signal.
Does a sitemap guarantee indexing?
No. It tells search engines the URLs exist and when they changed, but indexing remains their decision.
Does a sitemap help a small site?
It helps most when a site is new or has pages that are poorly linked internally, because it gives crawlers a direct route to those URLs.
