Note: Google recommends that you use the Indexing API ONLY for Job Posting and Live Streaming websites. However, it works on any type of website and many of our users have seen great results already. Please proceed with caution.

Whether you are a novice blogger or a seasoned SEO – you know the importance of getting into the Google index. It is the very first step before your website can see any organic traffic coming from Google or any other search engine.

If your pages don’t get indexed, your website is essentially invisible to Google and all the visitors – visitors that would otherwise “see” your website in the s…

Translation loading for the fast-indexing-api domain was triggered too early
by Mohammad·7 months ago·1 reply

Hello,

I’m reaching out because I’ve been seeing a persistent error on my WordPress site whenever I activate your plugin. The error message is as follows:

Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the fast-indexing-api domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in -----\wp-includes\functions.php on line 6121

I’ve noticed that this message only appears when the fast-indexing-api plugin is active. When I deactivate it, the error goes away completely. Based on what I’ve read, it seems the issue is related to how and when the plugin loads its translations.

Could you please let me know if there’s a recommended solution or workaround for this issue? I’d also appreciate any information about whether a fix will be included in an upcoming update of the plugin.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Update please
