What this check looks for
An XML sitemap lists every URL you want indexed, with last-modified timestamps. Submit it once via Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools and search engines re-fetch it on a schedule. Without one, crawlers rely on internal linking — fine for the homepage, slow for everything that's more than two clicks deep. Generate it programmatically so it stays current as you add pages.
