sitemap.xml
A `sitemap.xml` file is a structured XML document that provides search engines with information about the pages on a website. It helps improve the site's visibility in search results. Below is a simple example of how a `sitemap.xml` file is structured:
```xml
https://www.example.com/
2023-10-01
daily
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 modified 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 the site.
Using a `sitemap.xml` file can help search engines to efficiently crawl and index your website, improving its discoverability.
