A sitemap is a visual or text map of a site - a list of all web pages grouped in sections as they show up on the website. The sitemap is a single file and its presence can have a considerable influence on the popularity of your website, particularly when you have a lot of content. It will permit your site visitors to browse through the webpages and find what they need way quicker, that will increase the chance for them to return to the site or to show it to colleagues and friends. The sitemap is also essential for search engines like google to index your site content better, so that certain pages will appear in the results for specific searches, which will most likely not happen without a sitemap even when you have the desired website content. This is especially valid in case you update some pages since the sitemap informs the search engines that they have to crawl the website again in order to index the new content. Having a sitemap these days is fundamental rather than an optional feature for any thriving website.
SiteMap Generator in Shared Hosting
If you host your websites in a shared hosting account from our firm, you'll have a very easy-to-use sitemap generator readily available. This software tool can be accessed from the Hepsia Control Panel and it'll permit you to select any of your domains or subdomains, so the sitemap file will be created in the website directory where you want it. The straightforward interface will enable you to select the overall number of links which should be indexed and how deep the indexing has to go. As a more advanced feature, you can also select the file extensions that should be included in the sitemap - you could use the standard ones that include all most popular extensions a site uses like php, html, etc, but if your website includes more diverse content, you will be able to enter or delete an extension before you make the sitemap for a specific website.
