HTML Sitemap vs. XML Sitemap

While both are sitemaps, they are built for entirely different audiences: [1, 2]

Feature	HTML Sitemap	XML Sitemap
Primary Audience	Human visitors (and secondarily search bots)	Search engines only (Google, Bing, etc.)
Appearance	A styled, clickable webpage	A raw text file containing code and metadata
Location	Linked publicly in the site's footer	Kept in the root directory (e.g., `://site.com`)
Metadata Provided	None (just links and text anchor descriptions)	Includes page priority, change frequency, and last update dates
