Why examples matter for Sitemap Checker

Common mistakes in sample input

Only a page URL is checked instead of the site root.

Fix: Use the domain or main site URL so the tool can test standard sitemap paths.

The site uses a non-standard sitemap path.

Fix: Check robots.txt too, since the sitemap location may be declared there.

A sitemap exists but contains invalid XML or unexpected structure.

Fix: Review the output type and open the sitemap directly for deeper inspection.
