Pull every URL out of an XML sitemap or sitemap index into a clean list.
A sitemap URL extractor reads an XML sitemap (or the child sitemaps in an index) and returns the page URLs as a plain list. Use it to feed a crawler, audit coverage or compare against your indexed pages.
This tool fetches the address you enter once, from our server, and reports what a crawler would receive. The URL is not stored; only a short-lived rate-limit counter is kept. Results show the page at the moment of the check and can differ from what a logged-in browser or a bot with different headers sees.
Reads the real page at the moment you run it, with every redirect followed and shown.
Each finding says what it means and what to do next, not just a raw value.
Copy the output straight into your CMS, spreadsheet, ticket or client report.
Free, with no signup. Fair-use limits keep the tool fast for everyone.
Use a full public URL.
The page is fetched live from our server.
Apply the fixes, then run it again.
Once you have the list, count the URLs and compare it with what you expect. A sitemap with far fewer pages than your site suggests missing sections, while far more can mean parameter or archive pages leaking in. Paste the list into a crawler to check status codes, titles and indexability in bulk, or into a spreadsheet to group by folder and spot thin sections. Compare it with URLs in Search Console or your analytics to find pages that are listed but never indexed, or indexed but missing from the sitemap. Sort by path to see how content is distributed across categories, then prioritise audits on the largest groups.
A frequent mistake is extracting only the sitemap index file and not the child sitemaps it points to, which gives a list of sitemaps instead of pages. Another is treating the list as proof that URLs are live; entries can be outdated, redirected or blocked. Duplicates across child sitemaps should be removed before comparison. Watch for http and https or www variants that make two lists look different when they are not. Do not forget that sitemaps listed only on a competitor's site are public, but use any extracted data responsibly and respect the site's terms. Finally, save the date of extraction so later comparisons are meaningful.
