Frequently Asked Questions

The Sitemap URL Extractor works with standard XML sitemaps. It does not currently support image sitemaps or news sitemaps.

The tool can handle most standard sitemaps. However, for extremely large sitemaps (over 50,000 URLs), you may experience slower performance.

No, this tool is for analysis purposes only. To submit sitemaps to search engines, use their respective webmaster tools.

Yes, you can use the tool for any website’s sitemap, as long as you have access to the sitemap file or URL.

No, it only extracts and analyses the URLs present in the sitemap. It does not visit or crawl the actual web pages.

No, all processing is done in your browser. We do not store or save any of your sitemap data.

If you can’t download the CSV, check your browser’s download settings or try a different browser.

For very large sitemaps, the tool may take longer to process. Be patient or try splitting your sitemap into smaller files.

Ensure the sitemap URL is correct and publicly accessible. Try using the file upload option if the URL method fails.

Verify that your sitemap is in valid XML format and contains <loc> tags for URLs.
