LIVE URL CHECK

Sitemap Checker

A sitemap checker requests listed pages and reports their HTTP status, redirects and declared crawling or indexing signals.

Ready

Live URL status and redirects

Enter a website or sitemap URL to discover entries, or open a sitemap locally and check its listed URLs. The table records the original address, final status and redirect destination. A redirect chain is shown separately from an unavailable page. Results represent this tool’s request at the time of the check.

Noindex and canonical differences

The checker reads noindex or none in applicable X-Robots-Tag headers and robots or googlebot meta tags. It also resolves an HTML canonical link and compares it with the original sitemap URL. A different canonical is a review signal; the tool cannot determine which canonical a search engine has selected. JavaScript is not executed, so client-rendered tags are not included.

Robots.txt rules and unknown results

Robots rules are evaluated for Googlebot at both the original and final URLs. The diagnostic request identifies itself as DIMA-SitemapTools. Unknown robots results remain unknown when the file is unavailable or cannot be read; they are not presented as permission. A robots block does not itself mean a page has a noindex directive.

Check coverage and CSV handoff

Use the issue filter to review non-success status codes, redirects, noindex, canonical differences and robots blocks. Copy or export matching results as CSV. Runs have page and time limits and explicitly show partial coverage. A successful HTTP response is not evidence that a search engine has indexed the URL.

Coverage and run limits

Remote extraction defaults to 1,000 URLs. A run checks up to 50 live page URLs or 50 sitemap files and lasts at most 60 seconds. The result identifies coverage lost to limits or failed requests.

Frequently asked questions

Does this checker confirm Google indexing?

No. It checks HTTP responses and declared signals. It does not access a search engine indexing database.

Can a page be blocked by robots.txt and still be indexed?

Yes. A robots rule controls crawling, while noindex is a separate indexing directive that must be read by the crawler.

Are JavaScript-generated meta tags checked?

No. The checker reads the HTML response without executing JavaScript.

Does a different canonical mean the page is broken?

No. It is a review signal showing that the declared canonical differs from the sitemap URL.
