Find the Sitemap of Any Website (Sitemap Checker)
Paste a site and see every sitemap it publishes: the ones robots.txt declares and the common paths, each with its type, its URL count and whether the XML parsed.
Before an AI agent, a search engine or a vendor's crawler can read your site, it needs to know which pages exist. The sitemap is that list. Most sites have one somewhere; fewer people know where it is, whether robots.txt points at it, or whether the file at /sitemap.xml is current or a leftover from a platform migration two years ago. When you are handing a site to a crawler — to build a help center agent, to audit what is public — "where is the sitemap" is the first question, and asking engineering takes a day.
This tool answers it in a few seconds. Paste the site's address. It fetches robots.txt and reads every Sitemap: line, then tries the common locations — /sitemap.xml, /sitemap_index.xml, /sitemap-index.xml, /wp-sitemap.xml and /sitemap/sitemap.xml. For each sitemap it finds it reports the type (an index of other sitemaps, or a plain urlset), how many URLs it lists, and whether the XML parsed. The fetches use WireDesk's own crawler, the one that reads a customer's site to build an agent. Nothing you paste is stored beyond a short cache of the result.
This ran once, on one input. The product runs on your whole site, every conversation.

- 01
Site URL
The home page, with the scheme: https://www.example.com. Subdomains are separate sites to a crawler, so if the help center lives at help.example.com, run it once for each. You don't need to know where the sitemap is; that is the point.
- 02
Declared in robots.txt
Sitemaps listed on a Sitemap: line in robots.txt appear first. These are the ones crawlers are told about, so they are the authoritative set. If this section is empty, your site relies on crawlers guessing.
- 03
Found at a common path
The tool also tries the five paths most platforms use. A sitemap found here but not declared in robots.txt still works for crawlers that guess, but a Sitemap: line costs nothing and removes the guess.
- 04
Type, count and parsed
Index means the file points at other sitemaps; urlset means it lists pages directly. The count is what the file declares. "Parsed" is whether the XML was well-formed; a sitemap that fetches but doesn't parse is invisible to a crawler.
Questions about this tool
At /sitemap.xml on the root of the host, nine times out of ten. WordPress sites made after 5.5 use /wp-sitemap.xml unless an SEO plugin overrides it; Shopify and most hosted platforms use /sitemap.xml as an index. The only reliable pointer is the Sitemap: line in robots.txt, which is why the tool reads that first.
