sitemap.xml
A `sitemap.xml` file is used to inform search engines about the pages on your website that are available for crawling. It helps improve your site's SEO by making it easier for search engines to discover and index your content. Here’s a simple example structure of a `sitemap.xml` file:
```xml

https://www.example.com/about
2023-10-01
monthly
0.8
https://www.example.com/contact
2023-10-01
monthly
0.6
```
In this example:
- <urlset>: The root element that contains all the URLs.
- <url>: Each individual URL entry.
