An XML sitemap lists all the important pages in your website so that Google or another search engine can more quickly crawl your content and find these pages — even if your links aren’t picture perfect.
Technically, an XML sitemap is a file on your website that lists all the important URLs. It acts like a map that helps search engines like Google crawl your web content more intelligently.
