A sitemap is a visual or text map of an Internet site - an index of all web pages organized in sections as they show up on the Internet site. The sitemap is a single file and its presence could have a significant effect on the popularity of your website, especially if you have more content. It will enable your visitors to go through the pages and find what they need much quicker, which will increase the possibility for them to return to the site or to share it with colleagues and friends. The sitemap is also essential for search engines to index your site content better, so certain pages will show up in the results for certain searches, which might not happen without a sitemap even if you have the needed site content. This is especially valid if you update some web pages since the sitemap informs the search engines that they need to crawl the website again to index the new content. Having a sitemap today is essential rather than an optional attribute for any successful site.
SiteMap Generator in Shared Website Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel that we provide with our shared website hosting packages includes a built-in sitemap generator software tool which will permit you to create a sitemap for each and every website hosted in the account with only a few clicks. The tool features an extremely intuitive point-and-click interface that comes with a couple of options depending on how comprehensive you want the sitemap to be. You can pick the depth plus the maximum number of links to be indexed. In case you offer miscellaneous content on the website, you can also add and remove specific file extensions, which allows specific file types to be included or excluded from the sitemap. A drop-down menu will enable you to pick each domain or subdomain hosted in the account, so the sitemap file will be generated right where it is needed and you will not have to do anything manually.
