FAQ

How to tell if a Sitemap file has problems?

First check if it's a sitemap index or urlset, then examine link count, domain distribution, and update times. This basically tells you if the sitemap is healthy.

Should I check Sitemap first if pages aren't being indexed?

Recommended. Sitemap is one of the important entry points for search engines to discover pages. Missing files, format errors, or link anomalies can all affect crawling efficiency.

Can I view link count and distribution in the sitemap?

Yes. The tool is suitable for quickly counting link scale, domain coverage, and sitemap type, making it easy to judge if the structure is reasonable.

Is it suitable for checking after website migration and large-scale redesign?

Yes. Checking Sitemap after migration helps faster confirm if new links are all included and old links are still incorrectly retained.
