What is the Sitemap Index Downloader?

Big websites split their sitemap into many small files. A main file, called a sitemap index, points to all the others. Opening them one by one is slow and boring.

This tool does it for you. Enter a website or a sitemap link. We look in robots.txt and the usual places, open the sitemap index, follow every child sitemap (even .xml.gz files), and collect all page URLs with their last updated date. Then download the full list as CSV or TXT, or get all the sitemap files as a ZIP.

How to use it

  1. Type the website address, like example.com. Or paste a direct sitemap link.
  2. Press Find sitemaps. We check robots.txt and common sitemap names.
  3. See all sitemap files and every page URL in the tables.
  4. Download all URLs as CSV or TXT, or all sitemap files as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

What is a sitemap index?
It is a sitemap that lists other sitemaps instead of pages. Sites use it when they have more than 50,000 URLs, or to keep posts, pages and products in separate files.
Where do you look for the sitemap?
First in the website's robots.txt file (the "Sitemap:" line). If there is none, we try common names like /sitemap.xml, /sitemap_index.xml and /wp-sitemap.xml.
Can I check a WordPress site?
Yes. WordPress, Yoast SEO, Rank Math and most other SEO plugins make sitemaps this tool can read.
Why are some sitemaps marked as errors?
The file may be deleted, blocked, or return a normal webpage instead of XML. The note column tells you why.
What can I do with the URL list?
Use it for SEO audits, to find old pages, to check broken links, or to plan redirects when moving a site.
