URL Set: The root element that contains all the URLs for the website.
URL Entry: Each URL entry includes several optional elements:
- loc: The URL of the page.
- lastmod: The date the page was last modified.
- changefreq: How often the page is likely to change (e.g., daily, weekly).
- priority: The priority of the page relative to other pages on the site (values between 0.0 and 1.0).
