HTML and XML Sitemaps
1. Different formats
HTML is obviously different from XML. But this means more than that: while an HTML sitemap is visible to site users, an XML sitemap is a feed to search engines.
You could argue that HTML sitemaps are also created for nepal mobile database search engines, and while they are valuable to users, XML sitemaps are not.
2. Same purpose, but different means.
Both help search engines discover new URLs, whether they are pages, videos, or images.
XML sitemaps help search engines understand the priority of URLs to crawl, how often they change, and new URLs added to your site. This is especially useful for search engine schedulers because they can better estimate when and how often to recrawl URLs.
HTML sitemaps can also help search engines discover new URLs, but by discovering the links they follow. This means that HTML sitemaps are only effectively a URL discovery tool.
3. Different functions.
XML sitemaps have meta attributes like <changefreq> or <lastmod> to indicate how the status of a URL has changed. They can also carry extensions for videos, images, and news.
