XML Structure

The XML structure is very simple to write. The following tags are mandatory:

  • urlset: opening and closing of the file
  • url: for each page
  • loc: for each URL

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<urlset xmlns=”http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84″>
  <url>
    <loc>https://www.techniques-de-referencement.fr/index.htm</loc>
  </url>
</urlset>

Simply copy/paste the <url> and <loc> tags for each new page. For example, you can check the sitemap of our site: Sitemap XML

Uploading

Once your file is created, you just need to upload it to the root of your server.
