A sitemap is a structured list of all the web pages and content on a website, outlining how each page is interconnected. The two main types of sitemaps are: XML sitemaps, designed for search engines to help them index web pages effectively, and HTML sitemaps, created for users to enhance website navigation. A sitemap tells search engines which pages and files you think are important on your site, and also provides valuable information about these files. For example, when the page was last updated, and any alternate language versions of the page.
