As we all know, the XML sitemaps are very important for the search engines ...

They will help you to improve and control your site’s crawling rate.

And they are essential for your SEO efforts, because they make it easier for Google to find your site's pages ... And this is important, because Google ranks web pages not just websites.

What we tend to forget: we are creating content for humans and not for search engines! Our primary goal is to make our site accessible for our visitors!

Needless to say, everything starts with a clean navigational system and an easy-to-follow site architecture ... But we also need to use different ways to make our site "operable" and more user friendly ...

And this is where an HTML sitemap page will come in handy ...

Basically, an HTML sitemap is an organized, well-structured list of all your pages. Or, at least the most important ones ... It's like an actual map that will help your users to easily and efficiently navigate your site ...

And yes, is written (or generated) in HTML, but don't worry, you don't have to learn HTML ... A simple plugin will do the job ...

And I've decided to create this short tutorial where I will show you how easy is to create an HTML sitemap page in Wordpress.

Interested?

Let's do this!

Thanks Zsolt,

Quick question, my site is still being built, so should I wait to install the site map or will it update as changes are made?

Hi Glenn,

The plugin will automatically update the content on the sitemap page every single time when you publish some new content.
