Sitemap Extraction & URL Import

Use sitemap extraction and URL import to build the page list for scheduled Accessibility scans efficiently.

When to use this

Use this page when you want to scan many URLs and do not want to add them one by one.

Common input methods

• manual URL entry
• CSV upload
• sitemap extraction

Onboarding: seed URLs for a new schedule

1. Open Test Scheduling and start Create Scheduled Scan (or edit an existing schedule).
2. Choose manual, CSV, or sitemap import depending on where your canonical URL list lives.
3. For sitemap, supply the sitemap URL (often https://example.com/sitemap.xml). Wait for extraction to finish, then review the list—remove admin-only, duplicate, or non-HTML URLs.
4. For CSV, align columns with the template your team uses (path, locale, or environment columns if applicable). Validate in a spreadsheet before upload.
5. For manual entry, paste critical journeys first (login, checkout, settings), then broaden coverage.
6. Save the URL set, then continue with authentication and schedule steps in the scheduling wizard.

Best practices

• include core user-journey pages first
• review extracted URLs before scheduling large recurring scans
• exclude pages that are not meaningful for Accessibility validation
