Why Validate Your Sitemap?

A sitemap acts as a roadmap for search engines. If your sitemap contains errors, Google bots might stop crawling your site, leading to pages being de-indexed.

Common Sitemap Errors

  • XML Syntax Errors: A single missing bracket `>` or quote `”` can break the entire file.
  • Invalid Date Formats: The `` tag must follow the strict W3C Datetime format (YYYY-MM-DD).
  • Non-Canonical URLs: Sitemaps should only contain the “Canonical” (master) version of your URLs.
