Frequently asked questions

Can I extract URLs directly from a sitemap URL?

Yes. Enter a public HTTP or HTTPS sitemap URL. The tool follows standard sitemap indexes recursively, processes up to 20 sitemap files, and returns up to 10,000 deduplicated final URLs. Each fetched sitemap file is limited to 5 MB.

Does it support sitemap indexes?

Yes. When you fetch a sitemap index URL, the tool follows child sitemap locations recursively until it reaches URL sets, subject to the safety limits. Pasted XML is parsed as one document and does not trigger remote child fetching.

Can I export the extracted sitemap URLs?

Yes. After extraction you can copy the deduplicated list or download it as a CSV file.

Does a sitemap guarantee indexing?

No. A sitemap helps discovery, but each URL still needs to be crawlable, indexable, canonical, and useful enough for a search engine to select.
