XML Sitemap
What is it ? And how to work with it ?
The Sitemaps protocol allows a webmaster to inform search engines about URLs on a website that are available for crawling.
Simply, a sitemap is a file that lists all the web pages of your website.
Possible tags :
- urlset
- url
- loc
- lastmod
- changefreq
- priority
The Protocol documentation is really easy and supported on different languages https://www.sitemaps.org
