Sitemap
Crawlers can struggle to index websites with deep link structures. A sitemap provides a clear overview of your site's architecture, helping crawlers find all your pages.
Background
A sitemap is a file that lists your website's pages and describes their content structure. It acts as a roadmap for crawlers, helping them discover and index important pages. This file is typically placed in your site's root directory.

On the Auto Generation tab, click Add Page to add pages to the sitemap, and configure parameters such as priority, update time, and change frequency for each page.
