Sitemap is a way of organizing contents of your website so that search engines could find the data faster and more efficiently. This helps search engines to crawl your website better and in much faster way. You can create a sitemap to help Google search engine to crawl the unidentified URLs in your website.

Simple steps to create a sitemap manually [Updated June 2019]

step::1 Login to cPanel

step::2 Go inside public_html

step::3 Create a sitemap.xml file

step::4 Now open .xml file and edit these codes

<url>
<loc>https://www.yourdomain.com/index.php</loc>
<priority>1.0</priority>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
</url>

This is basically a document tree which helps google to crawl URLs from your website. This is a path from where google fetches information to be displayed over the internet.

Now what you have to do is:

Collect all the list of pages in your website and code your URL of each page.

Now put these URL accordingly to the above written code one by one.

Just for example suppose you have About-us and Contact us pages in your website and you want to put these URLs in the sitemap by using the code then how you could do these. So just follow this

<url>
<loc>https://www.yourdomain.com/About-us/index.php</loc>
<priority>1.0</priority>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
</url>
<url>
<loc>https://www.yourdomain.com/Contact-us/index.php</loc>
<priority>1.0</priority>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
</url>

Note: Keep the priority as per your wish and enter the frequency as per you update your website. 
Suppose if you update your website daily then keep <changefreq>daily</changefreq>   

Or if you keep updating it weekly then keep <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
