Free Sitemap Checker – HTTP Status & Redirect Checker
Use our free Sitemap Checker to scan URLs from an XML sitemap, check HTTP status codes, identify redirects, and inspect the final destination of each URL. Whether you manage a blog, business website, or large content website, this online sitemap URL checker helps you verify that your website URLs are responding as expected.
Enter your sitemap URL to start checking your website links. The tool reports HTTP response codes, redirect counts, response times, and final URLs, making it easier to identify redirect issues and investigate pages that may be unavailable.
What Is a Sitemap Checker?
A sitemap checker is an online tool that helps website owners validate URLs listed in a sitemap. An XML sitemap tells search engines which URLs are available on a website. Checking these URLs can help you discover broken links, unexpected redirects, server errors, and other URL accessibility problems.
Regular sitemap checking is especially useful after changing your website structure, migrating to a new domain, updating permalinks, or reorganizing website categories.
Key Features of Our Sitemap URL Checker
- XML Sitemap Scanning: Check URLs listed in a sitemap to review their HTTP responses.
- HTTP Status Code Checker: Identify successful responses, redirects, and HTTP errors such as 404 and 500.
- Redirect Checker: See whether a URL redirects and how many redirects occur before reaching its destination.
- Final URL Detection: View the final destination URL after a redirect.
- Response Time Measurement: Review how long a URL takes to respond.
- Sitemap Index Support: Scan supported sitemap indexes and their linked sitemaps.
- CSV Report Export: Export scan results for further analysis and record keeping.
- Progress Tracking: Monitor scanning progress while URLs are being checked.
How to Use the Free Sitemap Checker
- Open the Sitemap Checker tool on DazzBytes.
- Enter the full URL of your XML sitemap, including the HTTPS protocol.
- Start the scan and allow the tool to process the sitemap URLs.
- Review each URL's HTTP status, redirect count, response time, and final destination.
- Export the results as a CSV file if you want to analyze them later.
Understanding HTTP Status Codes
When checking sitemap URLs, understanding HTTP status codes helps you identify which pages may need attention.
- 200 OK: The requested URL returned a successful response.
- 301 Moved Permanently: The URL has been permanently redirected to another location.
- 302 Found: The URL is temporarily redirected.
- 403 Forbidden: The server refused the request.
- 404 Not Found: The requested resource could not be found.
- 500 Internal Server Error: The server encountered an internal error.
- 503 Service Unavailable: The server is temporarily unable to handle the request.
Important: If a URL redirects to another page that returns HTTP 200, the final status may be displayed as 200 even though the original URL redirected. Review the redirect count and final URL alongside the status code. A successful HTTP response also does not guarantee that a page is indexable or eligible to appear in search results.
Why Should You Check Your XML Sitemap Regularly?
Website URLs can change when you update permalinks, delete posts, move content between categories, or migrate a website to a new domain. These changes may leave outdated URLs in your sitemap or introduce unnecessary redirect chains.
Checking your sitemap regularly helps you identify URLs that require investigation and maintain a cleaner website structure. It is particularly useful for SEO audits, website migrations, content management systems, and websites with frequently updated pages.
Sitemap Checker vs. Google Search Console
A sitemap checker and Google Search Console serve different purposes. A sitemap checker tests URL responses and reports information such as HTTP status codes, redirects, and response times. Google Search Console provides Google-specific information about crawling, indexing, and search performance.
For a more complete SEO workflow, use a sitemap checker to investigate technical URL issues and Google Search Console to review how Google discovers and indexes your pages.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The scan can help identify URLs returning errors such as HTTP 404 or HTTP 500, allowing you to investigate potentially broken pages.
