What is a Sitemap?🤔

• A sitemap is a file that lists all of the relevant URLs your website is carrying.

• Your sitemap helps search engine web crawlers to understand how your website is built & which page has been updated at what date.

• Just like how we use .doc or .txt for files, google will understand sitemap in .xml format.
