sitemap.xml checker
Check whether sitemap.xml is real XML, not homepage HTML in costume.
A surprising number of sites claim to have a sitemap while serving an empty shell, a broken XML response, or straight homepage HTML. mygeo fetches the root file directly, parses it, and records whether URLs are actually there.
What this checker looks at
- Whether `sitemap.xml` exists at the root.
- Whether the response parses as a `urlset` or `sitemapindex` XML document.
- Whether the parsed XML exposes real URLs instead of an empty placeholder.
- Whether public benchmark hosts still fail this basic discovery layer.
