What is XML sitemaps?
An XML sitemap lists a website’s important pages, making sure Google can find and crawl them all, also helping it understand your website structure:. You want Google to crawl every important page of your website. But sometimes, pages end up without any internal links pointing to them, making them hard to find.

When a date changes in the XML sitemap, Google knows there is new content to crawl and index. This tells Google when each post was last updated and helps with SEO because you want Google to crawl your updated content as soon as possible. You will notice a date at the end of each line.
A sitemap tells Google which pages and files you think are important in your site, and also provides valuable information about these files: for example, for pages, when the page was last updated, how often the page is changed, and any alternate language versions of a page. A sitemap is a file where you provide information about the pages, videos, and other files on your site, and the relationships between them. Search engines like Google read this file to more intelligently crawl your site.
