sitemap.xml
A sitemap.xml file is an XML document that lists URLs for a website along with additional metadata about each URL. This file helps search engines like Google, Bing, and others to more intelligently crawl and index a website.
Basic Structure
Here's what a basic sitemap.xml file looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> <url> <loc>https://www.example.com/</loc> <lastmod>2023-09-15</lastmod> <changefreq>monthly</changefreq> <priority>1.0</priority> </url> <url> <loc>https://www.example.com/about</loc> <lastmod>2023-08-20</lastmod> <changefreq>yearly</changefreq> <priority>0.8</priority> </url> </urlset>
Key Elements
- <urlset> - Root element that encapsulates the file and references the sitemap protocol standard
- <url> - Parent tag for each URL entry
- <loc> - Contains the URL of the page (must include protocol, e.g., https://)
