A sitemap SEO audit that actually checks indexability (not just URLs)

Extracting URLs is the easy part

A sitemap gives you a list. What you actually need to know is whether those pages can rank: do they return 200, do they self-canonical, are they accidentally noindexed, do they have a title of a sane length, is the hreflang cluster reciprocal?

The SEO Audit Tool does the full pass, bounded:

1. Fetches robots.txt and follows every declared Sitemap:.
2. Walks nested sitemap index files up to your cap.
3. Fetches each URL (robots-aware by default) and reports.

What each audited URL carries

{
  "recordType": "page",
  "url": "https://example.com/pricing",
  "httpStatus": 200,
  "finalUrl": "https://example.com/pricing",
  "redirectCount": 0,
  "contentType": "text/html",
  "title": "Pricing — Example",
  "metaDescription": "...",
  "h1Count": 1,
  "canonicalUrl": "https://example.com/pricing",
  "isNoindex": false,
  "isIndexable": true,
  "hreflang": [{ "lang": "en", "url": "..." }],
  "imagesMissingAlt": 3,
  "internalLinks": 42,
  "findings": [
    { "id": "title-too-short", "severity": "low", "message": "Title is 14 characters.", "evidence": "Pricing — Example" }
  ]
}

Findings are severity-ranked, so the dataset sorts into a to-do list.

Two modes

• extract-urls — cheap, returns the URL inventory with lastmod/changefreq/priority. Use it to size a site before paying for a full audit.
• audit — fetches and analyses every URL.

{
  "sites": ["example.com"],
  "mode": "audit",
  "maxUrlsPerSite": 500,
  "maxSitemapsPerSite": 30
}

The honest limit

If a site has no sitemap, there is nothing to audit. The Actor tells you so (EMPTY_RESULT) instead of silently crawling the whole domain, because that would blow your budget without warning.
