A sitemap allows search engines to quickly navigate through your website content. It provides a list of all your content in a machine-readable format. We will be discussing what a sitemap is, and how to create one using WordPress.
What is an XML Sitemap?
An XML sitemap provides information such as the last time your content was published or updated. It is an essential part of SEO since it helps search engines locate your content and tells them if you have removed or changed content. Search engines use this data to determine the content that should be included and updated in searches.
A sitemap is used more often nowadays and is now published in XML instead of HTML. It allows website owners and search engines to find all pages on a website.
It tells search engine crawlers which links are more valuable than others and how often you update your website.
Sitemaps will allow search engines to better crawl your site, access more content, and show it in search results. It can help you rank higher and get more traffic.
Without an XML Sitemap, it can take longer for your content to appear on SERPs.
You should fully understand what your XML Sitemap contains. You must review it regularly to ensure you're not excluding or putting in content that search engines don't like.
