Garenne Bigby says, “A sitemap is a file (XML, HTML, etc.) that is filled with URLs that are associated with one single website.

It can be thought of as a log of every web page on the site. It needs to be found easily on the website so that search engine crawlers can stumble upon it if you are not crawling the website manually.

Sitemaps were created when websites became larger and more complex, and blogging gained popularity with their owners updating their content on a daily basis.

Millions of websites update their content on a daily basis now, and sitemaps have allowed search engines to track all of the newly updated content much easier, and allowing it to be discovered more quickly and accurately by search engines.

Search engines no longer have trouble tracking content on websites that constantly change, thanks to correctly implemented sitemaps”.
