What is an XML Sitemap?
An XML sitemap is a file that lists all the URLs on your website along with optional metadata (last modified date, change frequency, priority). It acts as a roadmap for search engine crawlers, helping them discover and index all your important pages — especially those that might not be easily found through internal links.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

- New websites — Google may take weeks to crawl a new site. Submitting a sitemap via Search Console speeds up indexing.
- Large websites — a site with thousands of pages may not have all URLs in the crawl budget. Sitemaps ensure nothing is missed.
- Isolated pages — pages with no internal links (orphan pages) are otherwise invisible to crawlers.
- Rich media — separate sitemap types exist for images (
image:image), videos, and news articles.
