XML sitemap - this sitemap is done by SEO and it is used by search engine crawler for crawling and indexing of site.

HTML sitemap - this is done by developer in html and its main use only for website visitors.

 

XML Sitemap
A tool which will validate your xml sitemap and optionally ping Google to inform them of their location.

Our xml sitemap validator will inform you straight away if there are any problems with your sitemaps allowing you to make changes prior to submitting it to Google.

You can also optionally ping Search Engines with the whereabouts of your sitemap. Supported search engines are:

* Google
* Bing
* Yahoo
* Ask.com

 

XML site map is one of the best site map which is search engine friendly to crawl the web pages. HTML site map is user friendly site map which is not so useful for search engine.I Prefer XML site map for the website.

 

xml site map is for Search Engines - you need sitemap.xml and/or sitemap.xml.gz for submitting into the web-masters.


While HTML site map is for Users.

 

HTML sitemap is for human visitors.
XML sitemap is for search engine crawlers.
Both of these two are important in the website.

 

XML and HTML were designed with different goals:

• XML was designed to transport and store data, with focus on what data is
• HTML was designed to display data, with focus on how data looks

HTML is about displaying information, while XML is about carrying information.

 

XML sitemaps are for Search Engine bots whereas HTML sitemaps are for users. These to sitemaps are very useful

 

HTML sitemaps used for users help, with it user can navigate easily on a website and XML sitemaps used in SEO. these are not visible to a user.

HTML = A map for users to find your pages

XML = A map for search engines to find your pages

 

site map is just like road map, if you have then you can easily go to your destination and more chance to cache all pages of the site.
The XML sitemap protocol is specifically designed for spiders.
The HTML Sitemap is an easy way to supply your users with a snapshot of the structure of your website and allows for them to successfully navigate quickly through your website. HTML Sitemaps also help build up "Internal Linking" throughout your entire website.

 

HTML sitemaps and sub-sitemaps must have crawlable links to all pages on the website. The HTML sitemap must represent the site in a very tangible way. It must be there present as a link on the homepage of your website. XML sitemaps enhance the visibility vis-à-vis search engines, and are considered to be one of the best ways of optimizing a site.

 

HTML site is a static view of a website ...it is useful for user .so that user can easily find out the link that they are want to view .....but on the other hand XML site is for search engine crawlers ,who crawl the website for indexing purpose .​

 

HTML sitemap helps visitors to navigate to a specific page. While, XML sitemap helps search engine crawlers to index all your pages easily.
