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. This ensures that search engines will always have the latest updates about your site. This plugin submits URLs to a generic end point https://api.indexnow.org/indexnow and these URLs are shared to all participating search engines.
Some other handy features included in the plugin:
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!
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!
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.
It just works. Low maintenance, can use more features which I am assuming are coming in future versions.
Looks like it works as expected.
