Overview
Ghost Update is a simple but powerful plugin that makes your WordPress site look alive again by systematically updating post/page timestamps and alerting Google Search to come check it out.
This is perfect for older blogs, abandoned content, or static websites that haven’t changed in a while and are now suffering in search rankings.
Ghost Update offers:
- ✅ Automatic post/page timestamp refresh (without touching content)
- ✅ Optional random or sequential update order
- ✅ Force update + recrawl button
- ✅ Manual Google JSON auth upload & secure storage
- ✅ Enforced 10-minute cooldown between Google Indexing API pings (for safety)
- ✅ Simple log viewer + log clearing
- ✅ Cron toggle — enable/disable auto mode
- ✅ No product updates, no WooCommerce, no content edits
