Structure: HTML sitemap is used to list all the URL links in each section or each different page of Blog or Website.
Order: The path is usually listed sorted in order of common directory tree and provides descriptions for each link, often thanks to the Anchor Text.
Subjects: HTML sitemap of blog or website will help users navigate and find information easily. So HTML sitemap is created originally for the user. Although HTML sitemap is created for visitors to the Website, but the spiders as Googlebot will have the opportunity to find out all the entries, pages, posts the Website easier when all the links listed in HTML sitemap.
