SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you validate an XML sitemap’s correctness and performance, or generate a clean, search-friendly sitemap structure that avoids common crawling and indexing issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Sitemap validation & issue detection: checks XML validity, URL responsiveness (HTTP 200), lastmod quality, robots.txt linkage, canonical/redirect/noindex rules, and prohibited tag usage.
  • Sitemap generation with quality gates: supports industry templates, interactive structure planning, URL-safe limits, and location-page guardrails to reduce low-value/duplicate content risk.
  • Practical outputs for execution: produces a validation report (for analysis) or sitemap XML plus structure documentation (for generation).

Quick Start

Ask it to analyze or generate a sitemap by saying: analyze my existing sitemap at https://example.com/sitemap.xml and list critical issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate XML sitemap format and check for indexing issues?

To validate an XML sitemap, you parse the XML structure, verify HTTP 200 URL responses, enforce noindex/redirect/non-canonical quality gates, check lastmod integrity, and confirm robots.txt linkage to detect indexing issues.

What is the best way to generate XML sitemaps for large websites?

Generating XML sitemaps for large sites requires enforcing URL-safe limits and creating a sitemapindex to split multiple urlset files, ensuring valid output while applying location-page guardrails to reduce duplicate content risk.

How do I check if my sitemap URLs are blocked by robots.txt?

Checking if sitemap URLs are blocked involves validating robots.txt linkage, parsing XML entries, and enforcing sitemap quality gates that flag URLs violating noindex, redirect, or non-canonical rules to ensure search engine compatibility.

Can I audit an existing sitemap to find non-canonical and redirected URLs?

Yes, sitemap auditing detects non-canonical and redirected URLs by parsing XML, checking HTTP 200 responsiveness, enforcing quality gates against prohibited tag usage, and producing a validation report listing critical search engine compatibility issues.

Why does my XML sitemap lastmod validation fail and how do I fix it?

XML sitemap lastmod validation fails when date formats are incorrect or outdated, and fixing it requires parsing the XML, checking lastmod quality integrity, and updating timestamps to ensure valid search engine compatibility.
