Browser workflow

The same sitemap workflow, closer to the page.

Use the extension when you need a quick answer from the current site, then move into the web tools for deeper checks and exports.

Find sitemap locations

Check robots.txt Sitemap directives and common sitemap paths while you are already looking at the site.

Validate XML sitemap files

Review whether a sitemap can be fetched and parsed before sending it to Google Search Console.

Extract URL lists

Turn sitemap entries into a clean list you can copy into audits, QA notes, or spreadsheets.

Count sitemap metrics

Check URL counts, child sitemap counts, duplicate entries, and other quick sitemap signals.

Download sitemap data

Save sitemap XML, TXT, or CSV exports directly from the browser workflow.

Generate starter XML

Create XML from pasted URLs or a small same-origin crawl when a site needs a starter sitemap.

Local-first checks for quick audits.

Checks run from your browser after you click the extension. This first version does not call a Sitemap Watch tool API or store scan history.

Quick technical SEO checks

Small-site launch reviews

Sitemap cleanup before GSC submission

Migration and QA spot checks
