A `sitemap.xml` file is an XML file that helps search engines understand the structure of a website. It provides a list of URLs that are accessible on the site along with additional metadata about each URL. This can improve the website's visibility in search engine results. Here’s a simple example of what a `sitemap.xml` might look like: ```xml https://www.example.com/ 2023-10-01 monthly 1.0 https://www.example.com/about 2023-10-01 monthly 0.8 https://www.example.com/contact 2023-10-01 yearly 0.5 ``` ### Key Elements of a Sitemap
