Now Live: Sitemap Scanning for Audits 🚀

Product avatar
Shared by Product •

Hey there,

We’ve just shipped Sitemap Scanning—a powerful enhancement that helps audits find up to 4x more pages by leveraging your site’s existing robots.txt or sitemap files.

Why it matters:

  • 🔍 More complete coverage: Catch issues on pages that aren't linked from the homepage or nav.
  • 🛡️ Better compliance & data integrity: Ensure privacy tags, CMPs, and analytics load correctly on all important pages.
  • ⚙️ Automatic discovery: Simply toggle “Find Sitemap Pages” when creating an audit and we’ll take care of the rest. This is on by default for all existing and newly created Audits.
    ​

Key Highlights:

  • Detects sitemaps via robots.txt or allows you to enter one manually
  • Supports large sitemaps (up to 50MB or 50,000 URLs)
  • Pages found in sitemaps are fully audited and appear in results
  • Works with RSS/Atom feeds too

On by default, see your latest Audit for insights.
