Does WordPress Create an XML Sitemap?

An XML sitemap is a document that lists the webpages and files on a website, and tells search engines how to find them. WordPress creates an XML sitemap if you enable the Sitemap feature in WordPress.

The benefits of having an XML sitemap include:

1. Increased traffic to your website from search engines.

2. Allows you to track the effectiveness of your website’s SEO.

3. Helps you to determine which pages are the most popular on your website.

4. Ensures that your website is easy to find for visitors.

WordPress creates an XML sitemap by default if you enable the Sitemap feature in WordPress. However, you can also create an XML sitemap manually. To create a manual XML sitemap, you first need to create a WordPress site map. A site map is a document that lists all the pages on your website, including the URLs for the pages, the title of the pages, and the files on the pages.

Next, you need to add the URLs for the pages in the site map to the URLs for the pages in your WordPress site. Finally, you need to add the title of the pages in the site map to the titles of the pages in your WordPress site.
