    I recently expanded my website with dozens of new pages, but I’m unsure if they’ve been properly added to the sitemap. I want to avoid any manual errors and ensure every page is accounted for. Can anyone recommend a tool or method to verify the completeness of my sitemap?

    I’ve been in a similar situation, and one tool that saved me a lot of time was the speedy index sitemap extractor. It let me quickly pull every URL from my sitemap and cross-check it against my list of published pages. I found that several key pages weren’t included in the sitemap, which explained why they weren’t being indexed. After fixing the sitemap and resubmitting it, I noticed a faster crawl rate and improved visibility for those pages in search results. SpeedyIndex’s tools are straightforward and perfect for tasks like these. If you’re managing a large site, they’re a must-have for ensuring your sitemap stays accurate and up-to-date.
