Open the page and start working, with no download or sign-up standing between you and the result.

With nothing to install, an unexpected one-off job takes no longer to start than your regular routine.
The design goal is simple: practical output on the first try, with a privacy-friendly workflow and the rest of the ToolsMonk library one click away.

Enter a sitemap URL to validate, crawl a site to build one, or paste XML / start from scratch
The full-screen workbench opens: your URL table and raw-XML editor on the left, the health score and validation checklist on the right
Fix flagged issues, everything re-validates as you edit, in either the table or the XML
Validator + builder in one full-screen workbench: fetch a live sitemap, crawl your site, paste XML, or build from scratch
Health score (0–100) with a full checklist: well-formed XML, urlset vs index, 50,000-URL / 50 MB limits with an auto-split suggestion
Deep checks beyond structure: non-absolute URLs, duplicates, mixed hosts, HTTP-vs-HTTPS, invalid W3C <lastmod> dates, lastmod coverage and stale (>1-year) pages
Two-way editing: manage URLs in an editable table (per-URL lastmod, include toggles) or edit the raw XML, both re-validate live
Site crawl auto-discovers pages (respecting robots.txt), merges any existing sitemap and auto-excludes noindex pages
Validating a sitemap before submitting it to Google Search Console
Building a sitemap for a site that doesn't have one, crawl, review, export
Debugging why search engines aren't picking up a sitemap
Fixing a broken sitemap in place: fetch it, edit the URLs or XML against live validation, download the corrected file

Sitemap Validator is a free online tool on ToolsMonk with a single focus: validate, build & fix xml sitemaps, fetch any sitemap or crawl your site, edit urls live with health checks, and export a compliant sitemap.xml. Whether you're a professional, student, or casual user, it provides instant, accurate results right in your browser without requiring any software installation or account creation.
All processing runs locally in your browser, so your files and data never leave your device. The interface adapts to any modern browser and screen size, so the SEO Tools workflow you rely on at a desk is the same one you get on a tablet or phone.
Sitemap Validator is a free browser-based tool designed to help you validate, build & fix xml sitemaps, fetch any sitemap or crawl your site, edit urls live with health checks, and export a compliant sitemap.xml quickly and accurately. Whether you are using it for the first time or rely on it daily, this guide covers everything you need to know to get the most out of the tool and its features.
Getting started with Sitemap Validator is straightforward. The tool runs entirely in your web browser, which means there is nothing to download, install, or configure. Simply open this page, upload your file or paste your data into the work area, and you are ready to go. The interface is designed to be intuitive, with clearly labeled inputs and a single action button to start processing.
For the best results with Sitemap Validator, pay attention to the configuration options above the work area. Depending on the type of task, you may be able to adjust output format, quality settings, processing mode, or other parameters. These options give you control over the final result so you can tailor the output to your exact requirements without needing a separate editing step.
A word on privacy, because Sitemap Validator works differently from most tools on ToolsMonk. The majority of them process everything on your own device, but this one cannot do its job that way, part of what you submit is sent to ToolsMonk's servers over an encrypted connection, processed there, and returned to you. Nothing is written to disk, saved to a database, or kept afterwards, and we do not log what you send. The tool page above spells out exactly which step involves a server and what leaves your browser, so you can judge whether it suits confidential material.
Sitemap Validator is part of the SEO Tools collection on ToolsMonk, which means it works alongside dozens of related tools in the same category. If your workflow involves multiple steps, such as converting a file, processing it, and then converting the result to another format, you can move between tools without leaving the platform or re-entering your data.
If you encounter any issues while using Sitemap Validator, try refreshing the page and attempting the operation again. Because the tool runs in your browser, clearing your cache or trying a different browser can resolve most common problems. For format-specific questions, check the supported formats listed in the FAQ section above.
Fix errors first (they can make engines drop the file), then clear warnings like duplicates and mixed hosts
Keep <lastmod> honest, engines learn to ignore dates that update on every deploy without content changes
After exporting, reference the sitemap in robots.txt and submit it once in Search Console; resubmitting on every change isn't needed
