A human-readable webpage that lists links to all important pages on a site, unlike XML sitemaps which are for search engines.
An HTML sitemap is a regular webpage (usually at `/sitemap` or `/site-map`) that provides a structured, human-readable list of links to the main pages on a website. Unlike XML sitemaps which are designed for search engine crawlers, HTML sitemaps are designed for human visitors.
HTML sitemaps help users navigate a website by providing an overview of its structure. They're particularly useful for large sites with deep hierarchies.
From an SEO perspective, HTML sitemaps provide internal links to all listed pages, which can help distribute PageRank and ensure all pages are crawlable. However, they're not a substitute for XML sitemaps.
SitemapKit's API lets you discover, extract, and parse XML sitemaps from any domain. Get structured JSON data with all sitemap elements including HTML Sitemap.
