Crawl
XML sitemap
An XML file listing the URLs you want crawlers to discover and prioritize.
Definition
Defined by sitemaps.org. Lives at any URL referenced from robots.txt, conventionally /sitemap.xml. Each entry lists a URL and optional metadata (lastmod, changefreq, priority). On large sites, a sitemap index references multiple sub-sitemaps. Sitemaps are a hint, not a guarantee — Google may still skip URLs.

Glossary entries are intentionally short. Real engineering tradeoffs need a scoping call — bring the domain, the stack, and the question.
