What types of sitemap files does this tool support?

The tool supports standard XML sitemaps as well as sitemap index files. If a sitemap index is detected, it will automatically fetch and parse all child sitemaps recursively up to 3 levels deep, analyzing up to 500 URLs per sitemap.

Can I enter just a domain name instead of a full sitemap URL?

Yes. If you enter a domain only such as example.com, the tool will automatically attempt to locate the sitemap URL by reading the site's robots.txt file for a Sitemap directive. If none is found, it will default to https://example.com/sitemap.xml.

Why might a sitemap fail to load?

The most common reasons are that the sitemap URL is incorrect, the file is behind authentication or a firewall, or the server blocks external requests. Make sure the sitemap is publicly accessible and double-check the URL you have entered.

How are URLs normalized before comparison?

Before comparing, the tool normalizes all URLs by converting the scheme and host to lowercase and stripping any trailing slashes. This ensures URLs that are functionally identical are not incorrectly flagged as different.

What does the CSV and PDF export include?

The CSV export includes all URLs across all three categories with a status column indicating Added, Removed, or Unchanged. The PDF report includes a header with both resolved sitemap URLs, the comparison date, a summary of counts, and the full URL list with status labels.
