XML Sitemap
A machine-readable list of every URL you want indexed, submitted to search engines so they don't have to discover your pages by luck. On a large catalog it's the difference between new products indexing in days versus weeks. Broken, stale, or unsubmitted sitemaps are a routine finding on stores with indexing complaints.
