What is an XML Sitemap?
An XML sitemap is a file that contains a list of all the material on your website in XML format, so that search engines such as Google may quickly locate and index it.
Essentially, an XML sitemap is a means for website owners to inform search engines about all of their website’s pages.
Additionally, it informs search engines about the importance of certain links on your website and the frequency with which you update your website.
While XML sitemaps will not enhance your search engine rankings, they can better scan your website through search engines. That means they can locate more material and begin to display it in search results that lead to greater search traffic and better SEO rankings.
Why Do You Need an XML Sitemap?
Sitemaps are highly crucial for search engine optimization (SEO).
The addition of a sitemap has no effect on search rankings. However, if there is a page on your site that is not indexed, a sitemap allows you to notify search engines about it.
Because most new websites do not have any backlinks, sitemaps are incredibly important when starting a blog or creating a new website. This makes it more difficult for search engines to find all of their content.
Because of this, search engines such as Google and Bing allow new website owners to submit a sitemap using their webmaster tools. This makes it easier for their search engine bots to locate and index your material.
Sitemaps are also essential for well-established, famous websites. They enable you to emphasise which sections of your website are more essential, which parts are updated more regularly, and so on, so that search engines can visit and index your material properly.
Having stated that, let’s look at how to make an XML sitemap in WordPress.
