sitemap.xml
A `sitemap.xml` file is an XML file that helps search engines understand the structure of a website. It provides a roadmap for search engines to follow, ensuring they can find and index all important pages of the site.
Here’s a simple breakdown of what a typical `sitemap.xml` file might include:
- URL: The address of a specific page on the website.
- 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 (values range from 0.0 to 1.0).
Here is a simple example of what the contents of a `sitemap.xml` file might look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
