The gz version should be a compressed version of the text sitemap. The gz file should download faster. Please understand that for most sites, a sitemap is nearly entirely useless. Sites that recommend that you submit a sitemap are completely wrong in suggesting it wholesale. Only sites that cannot be crawled, are extremely large, have a paywall or login should worry about a sitemap. Otherwise, it is a waste of effort, time, and bandwidth. | |
