About XML Sitemaps

An XML sitemap is a file that lists the important URLs of your website, helping search engines (Google, Bing) discover and index your content efficiently. While search engines can discover pages through links, a sitemap ensures they find all important pages — especially new content, pages with few inbound links, and pages with complex JavaScript navigation. Submit your sitemap in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Reference it in robots.txt with: Sitemap: https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml.

The <priority> attribute (0.0-1.0) is a hint to search engines about relative importance among your own pages — 1.0 for your homepage and main landing pages, 0.8 for important category pages, 0.6 for regular content. <changefreq> is also a hint — Google may crawl more/less frequently based on actual content changes rather than this value.
