Site map

The homepage is the harbor mouth.

For Google-compliant indexing, the homepage should be represented as https://ancientsailor.com/, not as a duplicate /index.html URL.

This human-readable sitemap links to the major public pages. The XML sitemap should follow the same rule: list / as the homepage and do not also list /index.html.

Harbor rule

One harbor mouth. Many sea lanes.

The sitemap should help readers and search engines find the site cleanly. Keep the homepage canonical as the root URL, then let the guide pages, episode pages, and policy pages branch from there.

  • Use / for the homepage.
  • Do not duplicate /index.html.
  • Keep page names descriptive.
  • Link every major page from the sitemap.
  • Keep XML and HTML sitemap pages aligned.
