Read the findings
49%of sitemaps listed URLs that redirect, are noindexed, canonicalised elsewhere or blocked by robots.txt
41%had pages with no meta description, leaving the search snippet to Google
27%came back with no medium or high-severity issue at all

What one URL looks like to us

We fetch every page your sitemap lists, the way a search engine would, and record eighteen things about it. This is one of them, from a real audit with the domain changed.

Then the same for every other URL in the sitemap, plus the checks that need the whole set: duplicate titles and descriptions, and URLs your robots.txt blocks. The report sorts what it finds by how much it matters.

For whoever looks after the site

No SEO suite to learn and no monthly bill. A clear list of what's broken on the pages that matter.

Website owners

Find what's broken before it costs you traffic or enquiries, explained in plain English and ranked by what to fix first.

Developers

A launch checklist that checks itself: catch a leftover staging noindex, broken URLs and redirect mistakes before handover. Moving a site? The migration audit checks every old URL lands in one redirect.

Agencies & consultants

Client-ready audits without another subscription. Prepaid credit, white-label PDF reports and read-only links your clients can open.

From domain to action list

Enter your domain

We find your sitemap automatically, via /sitemap.xml or your robots.txt, including sitemap indexes and gzipped files.

We crawl, gently

We follow your robots.txt and make at most 2 requests a second. Watch it live, or close the tab and we'll email you when it's done.

Fix what matters

A basic checks score, the issues ranked by severity and detail for every page, with PDF, Excel and CSV exports for your team.

Pay per audit. No subscription.

See the problems first, free. Unlocking the full report is a one-off payment for that audit, with no recurring charges, ever.

Safe for your site. Private for you.

A polite, well-behaved crawler

We follow robots.txt and Crawl-delay, limit our request rate and identify ourselves clearly in the User-Agent.

Read-only

We only fetch the public pages your sitemap lists. We never submit forms or log in, and we don't follow the links on your pages.

Private unless you share it

Each report only opens for the Google account (or, before you sign in, the browser) that started the audit, until you choose to create a read-only share link.

Payments handled by Stripe

Checkout runs on Stripe. We never see or store your card details.

Built and run in Maynooth, Ireland, by a solutions architect who has spent twenty years on enterprise web platforms. It's a small, independent product: email info@checkmysitemap.com and a person answers.

Questions people ask

Do I need to prove I own the site?

No. We only read public pages listed in your sitemap, just as search engines do. Your report stays private to your account.

Will the audit slow my site down?

No. We make at most 2 requests a second, follow your robots.txt and Crawl-delay rules, and slow down further if your site asks us to.

How long does an audit take?

At our standard pace, about 9 minutes per 1,000 pages, so the free preview takes a few minutes and a 20,000-page audit a few hours. Smaller sites are usually done in a minute or two. You can close the tab: we'll email you the link when it's finished.

My site doesn't have a sitemap. What happens?

We'll tell you right away and won't start an audit. Most platforms create one automatically, including WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix and Webflow. It's usually at /sitemap.xml.

Do I need an account?

No. You can start an audit straight away and we'll check the first 100 pages. Sign in with Google to keep the report in your account, get the link by email, raise the free check to 500 pages and unlock the full audit. We only receive your name and email address, never your password or other Google data.

What do I get if I unlock the full report?

We check every page in your sitemap (up to 20,000) and show each one in full detail, with an issues report listing every affected URL, Excel, CSV and JSON exports, table filters and search, and a clean sitemap.xml containing only your healthy, indexable pages. It's a single payment for that audit, from €2.99 depending on the size of your site, with no subscription.

Why is the free preview limited?

The free preview checks up to 500 pages, which is enough to show you real issues on your site. When you unlock the full audit, we pick up where the preview stopped and check the rest. You don't have to start again.

Can you check a site migration?

Yes. The migration audit takes your old URLs (or old sitemap) and checks that each one reaches a working page in a single permanent redirect, flagging broken URLs, redirects to the home page, temporary redirects and chains. Migration audits are a one-off payment from €14.99, depending on how many old URLs you check.

How long do you keep my audits?

Your audits stay in your account until you archive them. Archived audits, including paid reports, are permanently deleted 90 days after you archive them, and you can restore them any time before then. You can also delete your account and all your audits at any time from your account page.

How healthy is your sitemap, really?
