Understand your site's structure

Upload XML sitemap files or sitemap indexes to build a read-only hierarchy grouped by host and URL path. Use filters to find pages, inspect lastmod metadata, and compare two sitemap snapshots. A sitemap does not prove that a page is crawled or indexed by a search engine. Search engines such as Google ignore sitemap priority and changefreq hints.

Using Sitemap Visualization Studio

Inspect sitemap files as a hierarchy, filter and compare snapshots, and export advisory URL-pattern findings or an editable project.

Workflow

Import XML, text, or gzip sitemap files and check which files and page records were accepted.

Browse the hierarchy with the available filters, then load a replacement snapshot for comparison when needed.

Review URL-pattern findings as suggestions and export the selected report or editable project.

Worked example

Import local copies of a sitemap index and its referenced sitemap files, then compare them with a replacement XML snapshot. Inspect added and removed URLs in the hierarchy and export a comparison report for review.

Limits and data handling

The tool inspects files you import; it does not crawl listed URLs or check HTTP status, robots rules, indexing, or complete sitemap protocol compliance. URL-pattern findings are advisory. Imports are limited to 24 files and 30,000 pages; the visual view caps at 650 nodes while exports can include the full imported data. Replacement and merge have different deletion behavior. Local recovery is best effort.

Frequently asked questions

Does the visualization check whether URLs are indexed?

No. It reads the imported sitemap data and does not fetch target pages or query search engines.

Will the chart show every page in a large sitemap?

The visualization is capped at 650 nodes. Exports can include the full imported data within the documented file and page limits.
