sitemap.xml
A `sitemap.xml` file is used to inform search engines about the pages on your site that are available for crawling. It helps improve the visibility of your website in search results. Here’s a simple structure of what a `sitemap.xml` file looks like:
```xml

### Key Elements:
- : Specifies the URL of the page.
- : Indicates the last modification date of the page.
- : Suggests how frequently the page is likely to change (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly).
