Sitemap
A structured file that catalogs and organizes a website, for easy, readable access by search engines.
A sitemap should be submitted to major search engines when you create a site, and also any time you have large-scale restructuring of the site. New sitemaps do not need to be generated every time a new page goes live. These will usually be crawled by search engines and added to the number of indexed pages on a site.

Heat Map
An analytical tool that monitors traffic to your website and produces a color-coded “heat” map of user behavior on a site. Areas that are scrolled and clicked more will show up as hotter than others.
This allows you to see how people interact with your site design, and make iterative improvements that generate more engagement with important site elements.
