What is RSS and how to use it?

[2nd grade math]

I don't know what RSS is and how to use it.

I just know that it can make indexing of web pages faster by search engines.

Any help on it is greatly appreciated.

Regards.

A website generates a special code called XML. Then a user has so-called RSS reader which is able to read in the XML from the web site and display it in the user's device, be it another web site, a phone, a browser, whatever.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication.
RSS is a standard format for syndicating content on the Internet. The content can be anything! Often information contained in an RSS feed is syndicated on other sites which expands its reach.

Website visitors love RSS because they choose which feeds they wish to subscribe to, if at any point they are unhapy with the content contained in the RSS feed they simply unsubscribe and no longer receive notification of feed updates.

RSS is really a win, win for both subscribers and publishers.

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". It is a way to easily distribute a list of headlines, update notices, and sometimes content to a wide number of people. It is used by computer programs that organize those headlines and notices for easy reading.

RSS works by having the website author maintain a list of notifications on their website in a standard way. This list of notifications is called an "RSS Feed". People who are interested in finding out the latest headlines or changes can check this list.
Special computer programs called "RSS Aggregators" have been developed that automatically access the RSS feeds of websites you care about on your behalf and organize the results for you. (RSS feeds and aggregators are also sometimes called "RSS Channels" and "RSS Readers".)
