I'm struggling with submitting sitemap to Google and Webmaster Tools indicating some errors. Nevertheless after some improvements Google Chrome browser now displays the sitemap XML files with no errors messages. Can I use this as the indication that I have good sitemap file (in this case I will suppose that Google need more time to reconsider sitemap)?

I placed this question in this section purposely as this question more related to programming not site mastering.

If Chrome (or another browser) displays an XML file w/o errors, this means that its internal XML structure is valid. But this do not guarantee that you have a valid sitemap.

  • Hi, @Oleg! Thank you for contribution to the topic! I'd like to make a bit clear my question. XML image sitemap uses `` tags to indicate the image record which generates error messages in Chrome until you add `xmlns:image="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1"` attribute in the `` tag. – Roman Matveev Feb 06 '14 at 05:44
