Overview
IndexNow Plugin for WordPress enables automated submission of URLs from WordPress sites to the multiple search engines without the need to register and verify your site with them. Once installed, the plugin will automatically generate and host the API key on your site. It detects page creation/update/ deletion in WordPress and automatically submits the URLs in the background.

- Toggle the automatic submission feature.
- Manually submit a URL to IndexNow.
- View list of recent URL submissions from the plugin.
- Retry any…

I don’t think it works… 0 Submissions?
by Owen·4 days ago
I submitted dozens of pages before checking the stats, which declared: 0 Submissions, 0 Failures.
Doesn’t make sense to me – it must be bust!
Works well, but has a small loading issue

It works as expected, but I noticed that main.6b93cffc.js is constantly reloading. This is slowing down the WordPress dashboard significantly. It would be great if this could be optimized!
No support, plugin abandoned, plugin submits URLs with noindex directives
by Reed Sutton·7 months ago
This plugin has no support, it is completely derelict. The plugin submits all URLs to be immediately indexed even if they have the noindex directive. I have tried contacting the github devs, plugin support, bing webmaster support. No response. The plugin is abandoned.

Good hassle free plugin

It just works. Low maintenance, can use more features which I am assuming are coming in future versions.
