<a href="https://www.indexnow.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">IndexNow</a> is a simple way of notifying search engines of updates to URLs on a site.
IndexNow allows website owners to submit a request to search engines to prioritize the crawling of a particular page or blog post on your site.
This plugin provides a no-fuss, simple alternative to just submit updates to the search engines.
Crawl requests will be sent to search engines when:
<ul>
<li>new content is published</li>
<li>existing content is updated</li>
<li>existing content is unpublished (this encourages de-indexing)</li>
<li>the post slug changes (both the old and new are sent index the redirect URL)</li>
</ul>
De-indexed and redirect URLs are only sent to IndexNow once.
The biggest features of this plugin are the features that it’s missing:
<ul>
<li>there are no settings, it just works</li>
<li>there are no onboarding steps, it just works</li>
<li>there are no custom database tables, it just works</li>
<li>simply put, there is no fuss!</li>
</ul>
Simple Search Submission for IndexNow submits the update requests as you save your content. If you wish to submit the URLs asynchronously via a cron job, you can include the code <code>add_filter( 'simple_search_submission_notify_async', '__return_true' );</code> in your theme or or plugin.

Rank Math SEO

<h3>Get your website’s pages, and content crawled immediately! Use the Instant Indexing plugin to beat your competition and rank higher.</h3>

<blockquote>
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.
</blockquote>
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 search engines.
So, it is pretty important that your new content gets crawled/indexed fast, and it is equally important for your already published content to get updated in Google as well.
How do you do one or the other? Or, how about doing them both?
Enter the Instant Indexing plugin by Rank Math
When you publish new content or update old content on your WordPress website, the Instant Indexing plugin sends a crawl request to Google using the Google Indexing API.
The result? Almost immediate indexing of your content. <a href="https://rankmath.com/blog/google-indexing-api/#proof" rel="nofollow ugc">Here is an example</a>.
There are a lot of plus points of having your content instantly crawled and indexed by the search engines, but, here are a few major advantages of using the Instant Indexing plugin:
<ul>
<li>Rank faster – Have that awesome content you know users will like? Get it in front of your audience faster.</li>
<li>Increase your chances of ranking above your competition</li>
<li>Keep search results up-to-date</li>
<li>One-time Setup</li>
<li>Automatic Submissions</li>
<li>Manual Submissions</li>
<li>Excludes Custom Post Types</li>
<li>Send request to remove Post from Google SERPs</li>
<li>Get Current Post Status</li>
<li>Compatible with Any SEO WordPress Plugin</li>
<li>Bulk Submissions (Up to 100 URLs)</li>
<li>Completely FREE.</li>
</ul>
There is just no reason not to give it a try.

Instant Indexing for Google

Despite my skepticism, the plugin actually works. You can send 200 pages for indexing daily. List!
Moreover, the plugin automatically submits each new page to the index.
Thanks to the developers for a free and incredibly useful plugin!

Really works!

a life saver in some cases

Nice plugin


Hello,



I'm using in a composer based WordPress stack and I'm having issues with with your plugin dependencies. Choosing Composer in the context of a WordPress plugin implies certain prerequisites and responsabilities. You have three (unique) solutions:




Provide your plugin without autoload/vendor via Composer (as Yoast or ACF do) so that a WordPress project managed with Composer (which is very often the case on “pro” sites using Bedrock or equivalent stacks) is aware of your dependencies/constraints and can warn the user of a compatibility problem or manage the constraints of other dependencies (the whole point of a dependency manager).



Prefix your dependencies (for example, with Yoast), which allows you to isolate your dependencies (by automatically modifying their namespace - PHPScoper does this very well) and avoid conflicts.



You may provide a bundled plugin, but composing it should only be used for its autoload functionality (no dependencies).




Your plugin is using very popular dependencies (Monolog, Guzzle) that may conflict with a user based installation or another plugin.



If you intend to use external dependencies, please do it the right way.






Don't use composer packages or namespace them

A very efficient yet simple plugin to take care of your indexing woos and helps get your content crawled by search bots instantly.
