  DoUrWork — Master Standalone XML Sitemap
  https://docs.dourwork.com/sitemap.xml

  Single direct <urlset> for the whole site (30 canonical URLs).
  Google recommends one direct sitemap for sites under 50,000 URLs: it removes
  child-sitemap crawl latency and the "Couldn't fetch" failures caused by
  nested <sitemapindex> references in Google Search Console.
  Child sitemaps (sitemap-us.xml, sitemap-india.xml) are still maintained for
  regional segmentation and are declared separately in robots.txt.
