However, sometimes pages are created without internal links, making them difficult for Google to find. <strong>An XML sitemap<\/strong> lists the important pages of a website to ensure that Google can find and crawl them all, as well as to improve understanding of your website structure.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_58163824\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marc-heiss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/xml-sitemap-uebersicht.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"xml-sitemap-\u00fcbersicht\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marc-heiss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/xml-sitemap-uebersicht.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.marc-heiss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/xml-sitemap-uebersicht-600x185.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.marc-heiss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/xml-sitemap-uebersicht-300x93.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.marc-heiss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/xml-sitemap-uebersicht-768x237.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.marc-heiss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/xml-sitemap-uebersicht-150x46.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_58163824 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p>Above you can see an XML sitemap created by <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wordpress-seo\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Yoast SEO plugin<\/a>. Further down this page we will explain how you can create a sitemap without this plugin.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, Yoast&#8217;s XML Sitemap shows several <strong>index sitemaps:<\/strong> post-sitemap.xml, page-sitemap.xml, web-story-sitemap.xml, and so on. This categorization makes the structure of a web page as clear as possible. So when you click on one of the index sitemaps, all the URLs in that particular sitemap will be displayed.<\/p>\n<span class=\"scroll-to\" data-label=\"Scroll to: #warum\" data-bullet=\"false\" data-link=\"#warum\" data-title=\"why\"><a name=\"warum\"><\/a><\/span>\n\n<h2>Why do I need an XML sitemap?<\/h2>\n<p>XML sitemaps not only point Google to all your content, but can also optimize the crawling of your website by a search engine bot. XML sitemaps should contain the date of the last modification. This date immediately tells a search engine which pages to crawl and which ones have not changed since the last crawl and can be excluded from this crawl.  <strong>This is a great advantage of using XML sitemaps.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_513426490\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1055\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marc-heiss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/xml-sitemap-parameter.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"xml-sitemap-parameter\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marc-heiss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/xml-sitemap-parameter.jpg 1055w, https:\/\/www.marc-heiss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/xml-sitemap-parameter-600x239.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.marc-heiss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/xml-sitemap-parameter-300x119.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.marc-heiss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/xml-sitemap-parameter-1024x408.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.marc-heiss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/xml-sitemap-parameter-768x306.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.marc-heiss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/xml-sitemap-parameter-150x60.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1055px) 100vw, 1055px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_513426490 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p>In the above screenshot you can see the following parameters:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>lastmod: when was the last time the page was adjusted.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>changefreq: how often should the page be updated.<\/li>\n<li>priority: a value which can be between 0.1 and 1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It is important to know here that Google ignores changefreq &amp; priority!
