Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Added" mean in the comparison?

+
Added URLs are present in Sitemap 2 (the new version) but not in Sitemap 1 (the old version). These are typically new pages that have been created.

What does "Removed" mean in the comparison?

+
Removed URLs are present in Sitemap 1 (the old version) but not in Sitemap 2 (the new version). These pages may have been deleted or their URLs changed.

Why should I ignore trailing slashes?

+
Some sites treat /page and /page/ as the same URL. Enabling this option prevents false positives where the only difference is a trailing slash.

What should I do with removed URLs?

+
If content was moved, set up 301 redirects from the old URLs to the new ones. If content was deleted intentionally, ensure the old URLs return proper 404 or 410 status codes.

Can I compare sitemap indexes?

+
Yes! The tool automatically detects sitemap indexes and fetches all child sitemaps to build a complete URL list for comparison.
