Sitemap.xml
To access your sitemap.xml on your website, all you need to do is add "/sitemap.xml" after your domain name.
EG. https://www.yourdomin.com/sitemap.xml
https://klimt.smart.bookassist.com/sitemap.xml
All the URLs included in the sitemap.xml file can be easily discovered and indexed by search engine bots, ultimately appearing in search engine results pages (SERPs) like Google search.

Check for unused pages
and perhaps test pages that have been added to Idle pages instead of hidden pages that are not indexed.
