What is an XML Sitemap?
An XML sitemap is a file that lists all the important pages of your website. It acts like a roadmap, telling search engines like Google and Bing about the structure of your content and how to find it. Submitting a sitemap helps search engine crawlers to more intelligently discover and index all of your pages, especially those that might be missed during a standard crawl.
A well-structured sitemap is a fundamental part of technical SEO, improving your site's visibility and indexing speed.
