SEO & Website Audit

Sitemap Finder

Most sites don't link their sitemap from anywhere a human would find it. This checks the locations search engines actually look — /sitemap.xml, /sitemap_index.xml and four other common paths — against live HTTP responses.

How it works

  1. 1Enter a domain (no need for https:// or trailing slash)
  2. 2We check six common sitemap paths in parallel
  3. 3Each result shows the live HTTP status, not a cached guess

Who this is for

  • Auditing a new client site before deeper SEO work
  • Confirming a sitemap deployed correctly after a migration
  • Checking whether a competitor publishes a sitemap at all

Frequently asked questions

What if none of the paths return a sitemap?
Check the site's robots.txt — many CMSs declare a non-standard sitemap location there via a Sitemap: directive. Our Robots.txt Tester extracts that line automatically.
Does this work for sitemap index files?
Yes — sitemap_index.xml and sitemap-index.xml are both checked, which is where most large sites (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow) actually publish their sitemap.
