Sitemap Audit

Run npx skillmds@latest add gabrielmoreira/sitemap-audit in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

XML sitemap audit — find and fix the sitemap problems that quietly waste crawl budget and slow indexing. Discovers the sitemap (robots.txt, /sitemap.xml, sitemap index), validates structure and size limits, and cross-checks the URLs it lists against reality: non-200 / redirected / noindex / canonicalized-away URLs that shouldn't be in a sitemap, plus indexable pages that are missing from it. Reviews lastmod accuracy, sitemap-index organization, and robots.txt reference. Use this skill whenever the user asks about sitemaps, sitemap errors in Search Console, "sitemap couldn't fetch / has errors", crawl budget, pages not getting indexed, or whether their sitemap is clean. Trigger on: "sitemap", "sitemap.xml", "XML sitemap", "sitemap errors", "sitemap audit", "couldn't fetch sitemap", "crawl budget", "pages not indexed sitemap", "sitemap index", "lastmod", "robots.txt sitemap", or any sitemap/crawl-coverage question. For a full-site SEO audit use /seo-analysis; for broken links use /broken-link-checker. It is listed under Marketing & Growth on SkillMD.
