Sitemap checker
Enter a site address. Verant reads robots.txt and the sitemap the way a crawler does and lists every page it finds.
A sitemap is the list of pages you want found
It is one XML file. Search engines, and Verant, start there.
A sitemap file: one loc entry per address inside a urlset; the checker keeps the three pages on the site and skips the feed, which is not a page.
A sitemap lists the addresses on your site you want a crawler to visit, one per page. Big sites split it into a sitemap index that points at child sitemaps, and some serve it gzipped.
This check fetches it, parses it, and shows what a crawler would keep: the pages that are yours, on this domain, minus the addresses that are not pages, such as feeds, PDFs, search and cart paths, and the sitemap itself.
Two places, in order
robots.txt first, then the usual address.
Where the checker looks: first robots.txt, whose Sitemap line names the sitemap; then the sitemap itself, here an index with two child sitemaps that together list 142 pages.
A robots.txt file can name a sitemap with a Sitemap: line. Verant reads that first, then tries /sitemap.xml. A sitemap index is followed into its children, up to 50 files, and gzipped sitemaps are unpacked.
If nothing answers, the verdict says so. If robots.txt carries Disallow rules, the check tells you, though it does not treat them as a locked door: a scan you start yourself is not unattended indexing.
From a list of pages to a list of fixes
The same discovery starts every Verant full-site scan.
A finished full-site scan visualized: from one URL, the sitemap and the link harvest fill the crawl queue with the site's 10 pages laid out as its tree; each page is proofread in place and the run reports 7 fixes.
A full-site scan takes this list, adds the pages your own links reach, and reads every one of them for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and leftover placeholder copy. Each finding quotes the page verbatim with the fix beside it.
One free preview reads 5 pages, no account needed. Plans go up to 500 pages in one run.

Frequently asked questions
Where should my sitemap be?
At /sitemap.xml on your domain, or at any address you name in robots.txt with a Sitemap: line. Verant checks robots.txt first, then /sitemap.xml, and follows a sitemap index into its child files.
What if the checker finds no sitemap?
Your site still works and can still be crawled by following links, but crawlers have no list of what you consider important. Most CMS platforms generate a sitemap for you; look for a setting, a plugin, or a /sitemap.xml route, then name it in robots.txt.
Why does it list fewer pages than my sitemap has?
The check keeps pages on the same domain, drops addresses that are not pages (feeds, PDFs, XML and JSON files, search, cart, account, and login paths, tag and author archives), removes duplicates, and stops at 200. The raw count next to the verdict is the number of addresses the sitemap actually listed.
Does it obey Disallow rules in robots.txt?
It reports them, and it uses the Sitemap: lines, but it does not treat Disallow as access control. A check or a scan you start on your own site is an explicit read of public pages, not unattended indexing.
Does it check the pages for errors?
No. This tool only lists what the sitemap declares. A Verant full-site scan reads every page on that list for spelling, grammar, punctuation, style, clarity, and placeholder copy, 5 pages free with no account.
