What Is a Sitemap?
A sitemap is a file (usually XML) that lists the URLs of your website. It shows search engines which pages are important and how they relate to each other. It can also include metadata like last updated date or priority.
Why Is a Sitemap Important?
- Faster indexing: New content gets discovered and indexed quicker
- Better structure: Helps search engines understand your site’s layout
- Error detection: Highlights broken or inaccessible URLs in tools like Google Search Console
- Improved SEO: A complete sitemap supports a better crawl strategy
Who Should Use a Sitemap?
Every site benefits — but it’s especially valuable for:
- Large websites with hundreds of pages
- New websites with few backlinks
- Sites using dynamic content (CMS)
