WordPress HTML Sitemap: What It Is, Why and How to Create It
In this post, we’ll take a closer look at HTML sitemaps and how they work. Then, we’ll show you how to create one in WordPress. Let’s get started!
What are HTML sitemaps?
An HTML sitemap is a file that contains a list of all the pages on your website. Typically, this sitemap is located in the footer for easy access and facilitates smoother navigation across different pages.
Each item in the sitemap provides a link to its corresponding page:

By utilizing the sitemap, a user can quickly locate and access specific pages or categories on your website. This makes it easier for them to find what they’re looking for, which may in turn increase your site’s engagement rate and reduce your bounce rate.
