Hlo Friends,
What is Site Map and distinguish between HTML sitemap and XML sitemap?

[friendhrm]

A site map (or sitemap) is a list of pages of a web site accessible to crawlers or users.It can be either a document in any form used as a planning tool for Web design, or a Web page that lists the pages on a website, typically organized in hierarchical fashion

HTML sitemaps are designed for humans to navigate the website.

XML Sitemaps on the other hand are designed for search engines to know the site structure.

Html sitemap is useful for online visitors while xml sitemap is beneficial for search engines.
