sitemaps
Web structure diagrams
Sitemaps are files that list the pages on a website, helping search engines discover and index content.
They typically use XML format and include metadata like when pages were last updated.
Website owners submit sitemaps to search engines to improve how their sites are crawled: We updated the sitemap after launching the new product pages.
