Glossary
What is XML sitemap?
A file that lists the pages a site wants search engines to find.
In more detail
A good sitemap lists only indexable, canonical pages and carries accurate dates. It helps discovery but does not guarantee indexing.
Example
A sitemap at /sitemap.xml lists 400 pages and the date each last changed.
