The `sitemap.xml` file is an important component for website SEO. It helps search engines understand the structure of your site. Here’s a basic overview of what it typically includes:

URL Set: This is the main section where all the URLs of your site are listed.
Last Modified: Indicates when the page was last updated, helping search engines prioritize crawling.
Change Frequency: Suggests how often a page is likely to change (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly).
Priority: Provides a relative priority of the pages, helping search engines decide which pages to crawl first.

Here is a simple example of a `sitemap.xml` structure:



    
        http://www.example.com/
        2023-10-01
        weekly
        1.0
    
    
        http://www.example.com/about
        2023-09-15

        http://www.example.com/contact
