SEO suggestion: Create a Sitemap file for web search engines
posted by LucusNonSTAFFMOD on February 12, 2017 at 11:58 PM
If TMDb has not yet done this, please consider building a "Sitemap" file,
in one of the formats (preferably XML) that web-search engines can use,
as explained on the pages linked below:

After creating the sitemap file, submit it to web-search engines (at least Google and Bing).
This could help to improve overall coverage and visibility of TMBb pages in web-search results.

Please note that the type of "Sitemap" mentioned above is not the type of
site-map page designed for human viewing. Rather, it is a specially-formatted
technical listing of the structure of the site (or portions thereof) and is designed
specifically for consumption and processing by web search engines, with the
goal of potentially significantly improving the coverage and completeness of
those web search engines' indexing of the site.

I remember that from my minor. But my guess is Travis has all that covered, as he is a web developer!
