This plugin uses the 2index.ninja API to submit website pages for indexing by search engines like Google, Yandex, and Bing. This service is necessary for the core functionality of the plugin, allowing it to automate the submission and tracking of page indexing.
The following data is sent to 2index.ninja when a user initiates an indexing request:
<ul>
<li>Administrator email address: For authentication in the 2index.ninja service</li>
<li>Website URL(s): The URL(s) of the pages submitted for indexing, either individually, via a sitemap, or from a text file.</li>
<li>User Agent (optional): The plugin may send a user agent string for identification purposes.</li>
