What is a Sitemap?
Eine Sitemap ist eine Datei, die Menschen und Suchmaschinen eine Liste von Webseiten, Bildern, Videos, PDFs und anderen auf Ihrer Website vorhandenen Dateien bereitstellt.
There are two types of sitemaps, namely:
- HTML-Sitemap
- XML sitemap
The HTML sitemap provides your human visitors with an overview of the content on your site. Search engines may also use it to understand the hierarchy of the content.
On the other hand, XML sitemaps are used by search engines to find the content available on your site. Your competitors may also crawl it as part of their attempt to understand your content strategy.
