How to check if website has xml sitemap?
To check if a website has an XML sitemap, you can do the following:
You can simply add
/sitemap.xml
to the end of the website’s domain (e.g.,https://example.com/sitemap.xml
). If a sitemap exists, this URL will show the sitemap's XML content listing the website's pages.Alternatively, use the Beyondspace XML Sitemap Checker tool that scans a website to locate and display a sitemap in a user-friendly, tabular format with pages and metadata for easy review.
Squarespace automatically generates a sitemap for your site that updates as you publish pages and posts. This sitemap is accessible via
yoursite.com/sitemap.xml
.While you cannot directly edit the sitemap in Squarespace, you can influence included content by hiding pages or collections, which will exclude them from the sitemap.
This method ensures you know if your sitemap is functional and discoverable by search engines, which is critical for efficient site indexing and SEO performance.
