The sitemap.xml file provides a hierarchical map of all the pages on your website. It helps search engines navigate and index your content more efficiently. Mixa generates the sitemap.xml file automatically, ensuring that it stays up-to-date with your site changes.
To access your sitemap.xml file, simply append "/sitemap.xml" to your site's URL. For example, if your site is "<a href="https://mysite.com">https://mysite.com</a>", the sitemap URL would be "<a href="https://mysite.com/sitemap.xml">https://mysite.com/sitemap.xml</a>". Its content will be something like this:
<pre><code>&#x3C;urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
 &#x3C;url>
 &#x3C;loc>https://mysite.com&#x3C;/loc>
 &#x3C;lastmod>2023-05-30&#x3C;/lastmod>
 &#x3C;/url>
 &#x3C;url>
 &#x3C;loc>https://mysite.com/about&#x3C;/loc>
 &#x3C;lastmod>2023-04-25&#x3C;/lastmod>

 &#x3C;lastmod>2023-04-25&#x3C;/lastmod>
 &#x3C;/url>
 ... other pages
&#x3C;/urlset>

The rss.xml file, also known as an RSS feed, allows your visitors to subscribe to updates from your website. It provides a summary of your latest content, making it convenient for users to stay informed without visiting your site directly.
Mixa generates the rss.xml file based on your site's blog posts or updates. It includes the title, description, publication date, and a link to each entry. Visitors can subscribe to your RSS feed using various RSS readers or news aggregators.
To access your rss.xml file, append "/rss.xml" to your site's URL. For example, if your site is "<a href="https://mysite.com">https://mysite.com</a>", the RSS feed URL would be "<a href="https://mysite.com/rss.xml">https://mysite.com/rss.xml</a>". Its content will be something like this:
<pre><code>&#x3C;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
&#x3C;rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
 &#x3C;channel>
 &#x3C;atom:link href="https://mysite.com/rss.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />
 &#x3C;title>My Blog&#x3C;/title>
