How the Sitemap checker for AI works

Do AI crawlers use sitemaps?

Many crawlers use sitemaps to discover pages, including Googlebot and Bingbot, whose indexes feed Google AI and Copilot. A clean sitemap helps every crawler find your best pages.

Why list the sitemap in robots.txt?

It lets any crawler find your sitemap without guessing its address.

What makes a page a problem?

A page in the sitemap should load, not redirect, not be marked noindex, point its canonical to itself, and not be blocked in robots.txt.

Does it check every page?

It checks a spread out sample of 15 pages. Variask audits every page on your site.
