sitemap.xml

A sitemap.xml file is an XML file that helps search engines understand the structure of your website. It lists all the pages available for crawling and provides important information about each page. Here’s a basic overview of its components:

URL: The web address of a page on your site.
Last Modified: The date when the page was last updated.
Change Frequency: How often the page is likely to change (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly).
Priority: The importance of the page relative to other pages on the site (value between 0.0 and 1.0).

Here’s a simple example of a sitemap.xml format:



    
        https://www.example.com/
        2023-10-01
        monthly
        1.0
