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existing content is unpublished (this encourages de-indexing)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