sitemap.xml

A sitemap.xml file is an XML file that helps search engines understand the structure of your website. It lists the pages and other content available for crawling. Here’s a simple overview of its components:

URL Set: The root element that contains all the URLs.
URL: Represents each individual page on your site.
Loc: The location of the URL (the web address).
Lastmod: The date the page was last modified.
Changefreq: How often the page is likely to change (e.g., daily, weekly).
Priority: The priority of the page relative to other pages on your site.
