What does a sitemap checker do?
A sitemap checker confirms that a website publishes a reachable sitemap.xml and that its robots.txt points to it, so search engines can discover every important page. Pinglyra checks this as part of its SEO and indexability assessment, alongside the homepage title, meta description, canonical tag, Open Graph tags and accidental-noindex detection, all in one free scan.
A missing or unreachable sitemap makes it harder for search engines to discover your pages. This free checker confirms your sitemap.xml is present and reachable.
Why a sitemap matters
A sitemap helps search engines find and index all your important pages efficiently. If it is missing, broken, or not referenced in robots.txt, discovery suffers.
- Helps search engines discover every page
- Should be referenced from robots.txt
- A broken sitemap quietly hurts indexing
What this checker reports
- Whether sitemap.xml is reachable
- Whether robots.txt declares the sitemap
- SEO signals: title, meta description, canonical, noindex
- Open Graph and structured-data presence
Part of a full website health scan
This tool runs Pinglyra's full free scan, so alongside this check you also see uptime, SSL, DNS, email security, security headers, SEO, performance, links and accessibility - combined into a single 0-100 Website Health Score that shows what to fix first.
Passive and read-only
Every check is passive: Pinglyra only reads what your site already exposes publicly. There is no intrusive scanning, no form submission and no impact on the live site.
