Simple Search Submission for IndexNow

IndexNow 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:

new content is published

existing content is updated

existing content is unpublished (this encourages de-indexing)

the post slug changes (both the old and new are sent index the redirect URL)

De-indexed and redirect URLs are only sent to IndexNow once.

The biggest features of this plugin are the features that it’s missing:

there are no settings, it just works

there are no onboarding steps, it just works

there are no custom database tables, it just works

simply put, there is no fuss!

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 add_filter( 'simple_search_submission_notify_async', '__return_true' ); in your theme or or plugin.
