Sitemap & URL Monitoring
What changed in your sitemap — and which listed URLs broke.
A sitemap monitor reads your sitemap (indexes and .gz included), reports URLs added and removed since the last run, and requests every URL to find the broken ones.
What it detects
- URLs added to or removed from the sitemap
- Listed URLs returning 404/5xx, failing DNS, timing out or looping
- URLs it couldn't judge (rate limits, logins, bot protection) — listed separately, never called broken
How you're alerted
- “New Broken URL Detected” fires on its own when a URL newly breaks.
Notifications go to any of 8 channels — see notifications.
- Runs on
- A dedicated crawl worker
- First check
- Records a baseline — nothing is flagged until something changes
- Interval
- At most every hour
- Available on
- Professional · Enterprise and Custom on request
