What is HTML Sitemap
An HTML sitemap is a webpage that lists all the blog post URLs on a website, making it easier for users to find and access individual posts.
Unlike XML sitemaps, which are meant for search engines, HTML sitemaps are designed for readers. They provide a clear overview of the blog's content, enhancing the user experience. Additionally, HTML sitemaps can improve SEO by ensuring that all blog posts are easily discoverable
The main goal is to create a clear and user-friendly layout, helping visitors quickly navigate our blog posts.
