Hello friends,

Which is better: sitemap.xml or sitemap.html..?

Search engines and other crawlers are the only consumers of XML sitemaps. For SEO, an XML sitemap is an invitation to crawl the URLs listed. It's a way of asking the search engines to crawl and index the pages listed. ... They merely recommend the URLs you would like the search engines to crawl and index.
