FAQs
What is an HTML sitemap?
An HTML sitemap is a standalone page that lists your website's key URLs in a clickable format, making it easier for visitors and search engines to find your content.
How is it different from an XML sitemap?
XML sitemaps are machine-readable instructions for crawlers. HTML sitemaps are human-friendly pages that also create internal links bots can follow.
How long should my HTML sitemap be?
On large sites, break it into sections or multiple sub-sitemaps organized by category to keep each page easy to scan.
Should I use nofollow on sitemap links?
No — keep them as standard follow links so search engines can pass link equity and crawl those pages.
Where should I host my sitemap?
Publish it at a clean URL like /html-sitemap/ and link it from your footer or main nav so it's easy to discover.
