Podcast RSS Feed Validator

Check your podcast feed for Apple Podcasts and Spotify compliance. Validate RSS structure, iTunes tags, and PSP-1 standards.

Why Validate Your RSS Feed?

Your RSS feed is the backbone of podcast distribution. If Apple Podcasts or Spotify can't parse your feed correctly, new listeners won't find your show. This validator performs comprehensive checks across 4 sections to ensure your feed works everywhere.

What This Tool Checks

  • Basics: Universal health checks (HTTPS, valid XML, RSS structure)
  • Sharing & SEO: URL quality and discoverability
  • Apple Podcasts: iTunes tags, artwork, categories, streaming support
  • PSP-1: Podcast Standards Project compliance
  • Storage metrics: Episode count and feed size

Common Issues This Tool Catches

  • Missing or incorrect iTunes namespace tags
  • Artwork that doesn't meet Apple's size requirements
  • Episodes without proper enclosure tags
  • Missing required RSS 2.0 elements
  • Non-HTTPS feed URLs (rejected by Apple Podcasts)
