About the Sitemap Finder
The Sitemap Finder locates a website's XML sitemaps. It reads the Sitemap lines in robots.txt, checks the home page for a sitemap link, then tries the default locations of WordPress, Yoast, Rank Math, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace and other platforms (sitemap.xml, sitemap_index.xml, wp-sitemap.xml and more). For each one found it reports whether it is a sitemap index or a URL set and how many entries it has, with a link to validate it.
Our server requests the URLs you enter, like a crawler: it reads the response without running the page's scripts, and the analysis runs in your browser. The URLs and results are not stored.
How to use the Sitemap Finder
- Enter the site's address (any page works; only the domain is used).
- Press Find sitemaps and read which sitemaps exist and where they were found.
- If robots.txt does not list them, add a "Sitemap: https://…" line.
- Open Validate to check the sitemap's format and the status of its URLs.
Works well with the Sitemap Finder
- Sitemap Validator: validate a sitemap and its URLs.
- Robots.txt Checker: check the Sitemap lines in robots.txt.
- XML Sitemap Generator: create a sitemap if there is none.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find a website's sitemap by hand?
Open /robots.txt and look for Sitemap: lines, then try /sitemap.xml and /sitemap_index.xml. WordPress without an SEO plugin uses /wp-sitemap.xml. This tool tries those and about ten other common paths at once.
Does every site need a sitemap?
Small sites with good internal links can be crawled without one, but a sitemap helps search engines find new and updated pages faster and is required to report indexing per sitemap in Search Console. Most CMSs create one automatically.
