Sitemap Finder & Custom XML Downloader
What Does a Sitemap Finder Do?
An XML sitemap lists every page a site wants search engines to know about — but not every site links to their sitemap visibly. This tool checks the common locations (/sitemap.xml, /sitemap_index.xml, and more) for a given domain, extracts the URLs, and lets you download the result.
Enter a domain and this tool finds its sitemap, extracts the listed URLs, and gives you an editable, downloadable copy.

Why You'd Need to Find a Sitemap
1. Competitive SEO research
A competitor's sitemap reveals their full page structure and content strategy at a glance — useful for spotting content gaps in your own site.
2. Auditing your own site's crawlability
Confirm your own sitemap is actually reachable and lists the pages you expect — a broken or missing sitemap can quietly hurt how thoroughly search engines index your site.
3. Migrating or restructuring a site
Pulling the full current URL list is a useful first step before a redesign, to make sure old URLs get properly redirected rather than silently lost.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What if a site doesn't have a sitemap at a standard location?
A: The tool checks the most common paths (sitemap.xml, sitemap_index.xml, sitemap_news.xml, and similar), but some sites use a custom path only declared in their robots.txt — check there if the standard locations come up empty.
Q: Can I download the sitemap for any website?
A: Yes, if it's a publicly accessible sitemap — sitemaps are meant to be public, since their purpose is helping search engines (and by extension, anyone) discover a site's pages.
Q: Why would I want to edit the lastmod dates?
A: If you're repurposing extracted URLs to build your own sitemap or a migration plan, adjusting lastmod dates lets you customize the file for its new purpose before downloading it.
