sitemap.xml
A `sitemap.xml` file is used to inform search engines about pages on your site that are available for crawling. Here’s a simple example of how it can be structured:
```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
```
In this example:
- <url>: Represents a single URL entry.
- <loc>: Specifies the location of the page.
- <lastmod>: Indicates the last modification date of the page.
- <changefreq>: Suggests how frequently the page is likely to change.
- <priority>: Indicates the priority of the page relative to other pages on your site.
This structure helps search engines to better understand the layout of your website and prioritize crawling.
