Sitemap XML
Where to find your site's sitemap.xml for submitting to search engines
What is a sitemap?
A sitemap is a file that provides information about the pages and other files on your site, and the relationships between them. Search engines like Google read this file to more intelligently crawl your site. 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.
Standard sitemap.xml
Every site that is published has a sitemap.xml file that dynamically updates when you add or edit pages within your site.
https://www.exampledomain.com/sitemap.xml
Example: if your site's URL is https://www.exampledomain.com, then your sitemap.xml is located at https://www.example.com/sitemap.xml
Location pages and Local site sitemaps
These are special sitemaps that are available depending on your project type.
