How to View Your Own Website Sitemap Status Directly
For those of you who have submitted a sitemap or created your own sitemap for a website on Google Webmaster Tools manually, it may take time for your blog's sitemap status to become Success or Success.
Changing the pending status to success on the sitemap in Google Search Console requires a different time on each website, some have been successful in a day and some have been successful in two days and some have only been successful for a week.
We know that a sitemap on a blog is very important because it makes it very easy for Google bots to crawl every URL or website domain. Even though this sitemap takes time to be active or indexed in Google search, don't worry if you have made a sitemap correctly then the status will definitely be successful too.

If the XML Sitemap Status on the website is successful, then usually your blog's sitemap will already be indexed in Google search. For how to view it, see the steps below:
How to see an XML Sitemap on a website online:
Open Google Search and type at the very top of the google search box like this: https://theblogrix.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"><sitemap><loc>https://theblogrix.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml?page=1</loc>< /sitemap><sitemap><loc>https://theblogrix.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml?page=2</loc></sitemap><sitemap><loc>https://theblogrix.blogspot.com/ sitemap.xml?page=3</loc></sitemap><sitemap><loc>https://theblogrix.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml?page=4</loc></sitemap><sitemap>< loc>https://theblogrix.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml?page=5</loc></sitemap><sitemap><loc>https://theblogrix.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml?page=6 </loc></sitemap><sitemap><loc>https://theblogrix.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml?page=7</loc></sitemap><sitemap><loc>https://theblogrix.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml?page=8</loc></sitemap><sitemap><loc>https://theblogrix.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml?page=9</loc></sitemap ><sitemap><loc>https://theblogrix.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml?page=10</loc></sitemap></sitemapindex>
If you want to see the article pages on the website that have just been published, the website has been found by the sitemap, then you can see the order of the very first sitemap pages. In the image above, the most recent sitemap XML page sequence is 1, and the very first published article page will go to the last page in sitemap order.
How to Check Article Pages That Have Found a Sitemap
If you want to see or find out whether the article page that you have published or published has been found or not by the sitemap, every newly published website or blog URL will usually be included in the sitemap.
Each website page URL that has just been published will usually enter the first sitemap page, in the example above that the first page URL name is: https://theblogrix.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml?page=1
The following are the steps to find out which website pages or articles are included in the XML sitemap:
1. Go to Google Search
2. Then in the top box, you will write the sitemap URL address, for example, https://theblogrix.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml?page=1
3. So it will look like the below:
In the example image above, we can check the URL of the article page that we made on blogger or Blogspot whether it has entered the sitemap or not. If it is entered, it will appear on the Sitemap XML page on the website or blog.
The following is an example of a blog article that is included in the current sitemap (October 01, 2022):
Final Words:
Thus the information about the website or blog sitemap, in the example above I use blogger or Blogspot. However, you can use the tutorial article for WordPress, Wix, web development users, and others, and TLD domain and TLD subdomain users.
Hopefully, the article information can help you with the XML sitemap that you created on Google Search Console or Google Webmaster Tools.
