Table of Content
Find out how many pages a website has in seconds. Paste a domain or sitemap URL, and we’ll pull the pages we can find and show you the total—great for SEO reviews, migrations, and content checks.
Quick Start
- Enter a website URL (example.com)
- Click Count Pages
- View the total pages found and the URL list (export if available)
What This Website Page Counter Does
A page counter helps you count website URLs to understand your site’s size and structure. It’s a simple way to:
- See how big a site really is
- Confirm key pages appear in the list
- Check whether the sitemap looks complete
If you’re preparing a deeper review, pair this with an SEO Site Audit to spot on-page and technical issues faster.
How the Tool Finds Website Pages
This tool works best with XML sitemaps because they’re designed to list the URLs a website wants search engines to discover.
Enter a Domain
Paste a domain name, and we’ll automatically try to locate the sitemap. Many sites publish it at common locations, such as sitemap.xml or a sitemap index.
Enter a Sitemap URL
If you already know the sitemap link, paste it directly (example: /sitemap.xml). This is the fastest choice for larger sites that split pages across multiple sitemaps.
If your website doesn’t have a sitemap yet, create one first with our XML Sitemap Generator so search engines can discover your pages more easily.
What You’ll Get in the Results
After the scan finishes, you’ll usually see:
- Total page count (number of URLs found)
- URL list (so you can confirm what was included)
- Export (CSV), if your tool supports it

Why Page Count Matters for SEO
A web page counter does more than show a total. It helps you make smarter SEO decisions by showing you what your site is actually listing for search engines to discover.
Indexing clues: If a page is missing from your sitemap list, search engines may take longer to find it.
Migration safety: Use the web page counter before and after a move to spot missing URLs early.
Content clean-up: A URL list helps you identify duplicates, thin pages, and outdated sections more quickly.
Internal linking: When you know your full page set, it’s easier to link important pages and improve site structure.
After you spot your key pages, improve how they appear in search results with our Meta Tags Generator.
When to Use a Sitemap Page Counter
Use a sitemap page counter when you want a quick, reliable page list without crawling the entire website.
- Before an SEO review: Get a clear starting point for how large the site is.
- After publishing new pages, confirm they appear in the sitemap list.
- After a redesign or CMS change: Check that your sitemap still matches the live site.
- When pages don’t show in Google: Missing sitemap entries can be a warning sign.
- To compare website size: Quickly benchmark your site against similar sites in your niche.
If you’re also checking authority and growth, run a quick scan with our Backlink Checker.
Tips to Get a More Accurate Page Count
Page totals can vary depending on how a site is built. For more accurate results:
- Use the sitemap index if the site has multiple sitemaps (posts, pages, products).
- Watch for duplicates caused by URL parameters (filters and tracking tags).
- Keep your sitemap updated so it reflects what’s actually live.
- Remember: a sitemap count shows what the site lists, not always every URL that exists.
To guide crawlers the right way, generate a clean rules file with our Robots.txt Generator.
Common Reasons Counts Don’t Match
If your count looks too high or too low, this is usually why:
The sitemap is outdated or incomplete
The site blocks sitemap access
duplicate URLs appear across sitemap files
The site generates many URL variations
If you suspect broken pages or redirects, check your URLs with an HTTP Status Code Checker and fix dead paths using a Broken Link Checker.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Paste the domain or sitemap URL into the tool and click Count Pages. You’ll get the total number of URLs found, plus a list for review.
-
It can be limited. Most accurate results come from a sitemap because it’s the site’s own URL list.
-
Not always. A sitemap is a list of URLs for a website. Indexing depends on many factors, such as quality, crawl access, duplicates, and noindex rules.
