Use this Google Chrome bookmarklet to inspect your competitors’ content via their XML sitemap.
Please note that the sitemap functionality is effective exclusively when the sitemap file resides at site.com/sitemap.xml, and its primary objective is to enhance your workflow speed.
Installing a bookmarklet in your web browser is a straightforward process. Bookmarklets are small pieces of JavaScript code that you can save as bookmarks and use to enhance your browsing experience or add functionality to webpages.

Highlight and copy the following JavaScript code for the bookmarklet:
javascript:(function() { const mainDomain = window.location.protocol + '//' + window.location.hostname; const sitemapUrl = mainDomain + '/sitemap.xml'; window.open(sitemapUrl, '_blank');})();Create a New Bookmark
Right-click on your browser’s bookmarks bar (the area just below the address bar) or press Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows/Linux) or Command+Shift+B (Mac) to show the bookmarks bar if it’s hidden.
Choose “Add page” or “Add bookmark” depending on your browser version.
Name the Bookmarklet
Give the bookmarklet a name that helps you identify its purpose. This name will appear in your bookmarks bar.
Paste the JavaScript Code
In the URL or Location field, delete the existing URL if any, and paste the JavaScript code you copied earlier. Make sure it starts with javascript:.
Save the Bookmarklet
Click the “Save” or “Add” button to save the bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar.
Using the Bookmarklet
