Sitemap Inspector
Analyze any XML sitemap — URL count, lastmod coverage, and sitemap-index structure.
What is Sitemap Inspector?
XML sitemaps tell search engines which URLs to crawl and how often. They're not strictly required, but they help with discovery, especially on new sites and large sites. This inspector parses any sitemap or sitemap index, counts URLs, and shows lastmod coverage. Submit your sitemap URL in Google Search Console for tracking.

A sitemap that links to other sitemaps. Required when you have over 50,000 URLs or 50MB in a single sitemap.
Should every URL have a lastmod?▼
