Structured listings of a site's page help with [search engine optimization](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/SEO) (SEO), providing a link for web crawlers such as search engines to follow. Site maps also help users with site navigation by providing an overview of a site's content in a single glance. ## Help improve MDN [Learn how to contribute](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Community/Getting_started) This page was last modified on Jul 11, 2025 by [MDN contributors](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Site_map/contributors.txt).
