Sitemap Analytics
Start with an AI first read, then take the full data into Excel.
See what pages a website has and where maintenance is happening, then take the full dataset into Excel.
Check allowance or submit an analysis to see your current channel and remaining requests.
These limits protect this lightweight tool. In-depth website diagnostics in the console have separate plan allowances.

Understand the scope: lastmod is the last modification date, not a publishing frequency. Sitemap coverage does not equal all website pages or Google indexing.

YOUR FIRST READ / AI + SOURCE FACTS
Initial AI operations analysis
An initial interpretation is generated automatically after organizing the URLs.
AI offers initial advice from this run’s aggregates. It does not verify traffic, indexing or publishing history. Check advice against your business and original details. Excel is available before AI finishes.
01 / CONTENT MIX
URL types
Review the structure, then check classifications against the website's actual sections.
Customize URL classifications
Enter one Category=path-fragment rule per line, such as Article=/news/ or Product=/products/. Matching URL paths use the category on the left. These rules take priority over the default classification.
Rules are checked from top to bottom; the first matching rule wins. Applying rules only recalculates the current report.
02 / MODIFICATION SIGNALS
Last modification dates by month
Grouped by valid lastmod dates. This shows the distribution of last modification dates, not publishing frequency.
Dates clustered on one day may reflect bulk updates or sitemap regeneration. Check the original pages first.
03 / DIRECTORY STRUCTURE
Top directories
Grouped by the first path segment to identify the sections with the most content.

READ THE SIGNALS CORRECTLY
One content inventory. Three boundaries to remember.
lastmod is the modification date declared in the sitemap. Use CMS records and the actual pages to assess publishing frequency and content quality.
The report covers sitemaps successfully read in this run. Check Search Console separately for indexing and search traffic.
Classifications are inferred from paths and file extensions. changefreq is also a website declaration, not a measured update cadence.

What can this tool analyze?
Enter a public homepage or sitemap URL. The tool discovers sitemaps, expands sitemap indexes and deduplicates URLs. The report shows path classifications, directories, lastmod date coverage, recent modification signals and monthly distribution to help teams review content structure and maintenance. Excel preserves URL details and sources for further filtering and analysis.
Can lastmod be used to measure publishing frequency?
No. lastmod is the last modification date declared in the sitemap. It may reflect content edits, template changes, migration or bulk regeneration. Monthly distribution and recent activity describe these dates; they do not directly establish publication dates, actual publishing frequency or editorial effort.
Why does the URL count differ from Google's indexed page count?
The report only covers sitemaps successfully read in this run. Sitemaps may omit pages or include duplicate, outdated or unindexed URLs. The tool deduplicates URLs but does not verify page availability, canonical URLs, actual indexing or search traffic. Check Google Search Console for actual indexing.
Why might the report show partial results?
Each run is limited to 50,000 URLs, 40 sitemaps, four index levels and 90 seconds. Reaching a limit, a failed child sitemap request or an unparseable format produces an explicitly partial report that preserves the evidence collected. Partial results must not be extrapolated to whole-site totals.
How do I change URL classifications such as articles and products?
Default classifications are inferred from paths and file extensions; page content is not read. Open custom classifications and enter one Category=path-fragment rule per line, such as Article=/news/. Applying rules recalculates the current report without another website request. Verify classifications against the website's actual sections.
What does the Excel export include?
Excel includes the URL inventory, type summaries, monthly and directory distributions, sources and analysis notes. Details preserve the original lastmod, parsed date and source sitemap for further work. Exports cover every URL in the current report; table searches and filters do not reduce the export scope.
What is sent for AI analysis?
The program first extracts URL, type, directory and lastmod aggregates, then sends a bounded summary to Google Gemini. The full URL inventory is not sent and every page is not fetched. Existing verification and shared allowances apply. Download Excel for your own analysis even if AI is unavailable.
Is website information saved automatically?
The tool reads public sitemaps and does not need an account on the target website. Do not enter private URLs containing access tokens. The page does not automatically save the URL or report on your device. Results remain in the current page, so download them when needed. The example uses fictional data and makes no external website requests.
Sitemap analytics and Excel export practical guide and common questions
What does a Sitemap analytics and Excel export do?
A sitemap is a declared URL inventory. Types are inferred from paths and sources, and lastmod is the currently declared latest modification. A single snapshot cannot reconstruct publishing or editing history.
Who is this for, and when is it useful?
Operators, SEO and content teams reviewing public website inventories before planning article or product maintenance.
How do I use this Sitemap analytics and Excel export?
Enter a website or sitemap URL, review traversal and date coverage, inspect article, product and directory counts and recent modification signals, then export Excel for further filtering.
How should I interpret the results?
Review failed or truncated sitemaps and missing dates before adjusting classification rules. Use the distribution for inventory review alongside historical snapshots and real traffic data.
Where is the work performed, and which services receive data?
Submitting makes bounded requests for public robots.txt and sitemaps, then automatically sends an aggregate summary to Google Gemini for initial advice. The full URL list is not sent and every page is not fetched. Existing AI allowances apply; Excel can be downloaded independently.
