<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existing content is unpublished (this encourages de-indexing)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.

I just got a popup when logging in to my site.  I got this on the dashboard of my site.  This wasn't a banner at the top.  This was a popup.  I wasn't on your plugin page.  IT WAS ON THE DASHBOARD OF MY SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



If you ever show a popup again I will remove your plugin from every single site I have ever built and never install again.  I've been a web developer for over 20 years.....that is a lot of sites.



"""""Would you help us improve Google XML Sitemaps by sharing anonymous usage data? We intend to understand feature usage and use cases better so that we can provide you with the best indexation and indexing performance.""""""



I said no when I installed and I meant it.  What does a parent do when their kids nag?  They ground them.

I needed an image sitemap and saw in the bio that it was supposed to be available, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I even created a support ticket, but unfortunately, there was no response from the development team.
