What Is an XML Sitemap?
An XML sitemap is a file that lists all important pages on your website in a format search engines can read. It helps Google, Bing, and other search engines discover, crawl, and index your content more efficiently.
While search engines can find pages through links, a sitemap ensures nothing gets missed — especially new pages, pages with few inbound links, or pages deep in your site structure.
