Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Sitemap Visualizer

What types of sitemaps can the visualizer handle?

XML sitemaps (the standard), sitemap indexes (where one XML file lists multiple child sitemaps), and gzipped sitemaps. We follow up to 20 child sitemaps automatically and aggregate up to 5,000 URLs into the tree view.

What does the 'duplicates' count mean?

Identical <loc> values appearing more than once across your sitemap (or sitemap-index children). Duplicates waste crawl budget and confuse Google about which version is canonical. Aim for zero duplicates.

How do I find a site's sitemap if I only know the domain?

Paste just the domain (e.g. example.com) — the tool tries /sitemap.xml automatically. If that doesn't exist, check /robots.txt for the 'Sitemap:' directive, or try common variants like /sitemap_index.xml, /sitemap-index.xml or /wp-sitemap.xml for WordPress.

Why is the URL count lower than my CMS reports?

Three common reasons: (1) we cap at 5,000 to keep the visualization fast — paste a specific child sitemap if you need to see beyond that; (2) child sitemaps that 404 or time out are skipped; (3) some CMSes count pages that are noindex'd or aren't actually in any sitemap.

Is the target site notified when I scan its sitemap?

No — we make a single HTTP GET (plus up to 20 follow-up requests for child sitemaps) with our User-Agent. No tracking. SSRF protection blocks private and metadata IPs.
