What are multiple sitemaps?

This file acts like a sitemap for all the sitemaps you have in your site. The file lists all the sitemaps in the site in one collective folder for easy crawling by search engines. Multiple sitemaps should only be used when your site requirements exceed the size limitations provided for a single sitemap file.

Can I have multiple sitemaps?

Yes, you can! You might want to have multiple Sitemap files in a single directory for a number of reasons. For instance, if you have an auction site, you might want to have a daily Sitemap with new auction offers and a weekly Sitemap with less time-sensitive URLs.

What are the types of sitemap?

There are two types of sitemaps: HTML and XML. HTML sitemaps guide visitors, mostly. XML sitemaps guide search engine bots, to ensure they find a site's URLs to index. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each will help with your search engine optimization.

How does a multisite work?

In multisites, all subsites use the same core files, and the files for all websites exist in the same WordPress directory. And that directory is also where you keep plugin and theme files — which saves significant server space. Not everything is shared across sites, though.
