WordPress has introduced a significant update in version 6.5, enhancing search engine optimization (SEO) capabilities with native support for the ‘lastmod’ element in sitemaps. This feature allows search engines to crawl websites more efficiently by understanding the last modification date of the content, potentially increasing site visibility. The update is a result of the collaborative efforts within the WordPress developer community, particularly credited to Pascal Birchler. Experts, including Google’s Gary Illyes, recommend upgrading to take full advantage of this SEO improvement.
