FAQs
- What is an HTML sitemap?
An HTML sitemap is a public page listing important URLs on your website in a simple, clickable format, helping users and search engines find content.
- Is this different from an XML sitemap?
Yes. XML sitemaps are for search engines; HTML sitemaps are for humans and add internal links that bots can follow.
- How big should my HTML sitemap be?
For large sites, create multiple sections or sub-sitemaps (e.g., by category) to keep pages scannable.
- Do I need to add nofollow?
No. Leave links as follow so search engines can crawl them.
- Where should I place my sitemap?
Publish it on a public URL (e.g., /html-sitemap/) and link it in your footer or main navigation.
