Getting Started Install and activate the plugin Go to Indexedy > Settings to configure your preferred checking method(s) Add API credentials for Google Search Console, Gemini, or Custom Search Engine Start checking URLs from the Index Inspector page or directly from your post list External Services This plugin connects to external Google services to check indexing status. The following services are used: Google Search Console API What it is: Google Search Console URL Inspection API is used to check if URLs are indexed in Google Search. This is the most accurate method as it uses official Google data. What data is sent and when: * When you check a URL’s indexing status using the Google Search Console method, the plugin sends: * The URL you want to check (inspectionUrl) * Your website’s URL (siteUrl) * Your site’s language code (languageCode) * For authentication, the plugin uses OAuth2 with a Service Account JSON key that you provide. This involves: * Sending a JWT (JSON Web Token) to Google’s OAuth2 token endpoint to obtain an access token * The access token is cached for 1 hour to reduce API calls Service provided by: Google LLC * Terms of Service: https://developers.google.com/terms * Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy * API Documentation: https://developers.google.com/webmaster-tools/v1/urlInspection.index/inspect Google Gemini API What it is: Google’s Gemini AI service is used as an alternative method to check if URLs are indexed in Google Search using AI-powered analysis. What data is sent and when: * When you check a URL’s indexing status using the Gemini method, the plugin sends: * The URL you want to check * The domain and path extracted from the URL * A text prompt asking Gemini to check if the URL is indexed * This data is sent each time you manually check a URL or when bulk checking is performed Service provided by: Google LLC * Terms of Service: https://ai.google.dev/terms * Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy * API Documentation: https://ai.google.dev/api Google Custom Search API What it is: Google Custom Search API is used to perform site:domain queries to check if URLs appear in Google search results. This is an optional method that provides more reliable results than HTML parsing. What data is sent and when: * When you check a URL’s indexing status using the Site Query method with Custom Search API configured, the plugin sends: * A search query containing the URL (in the format: site:domain URL) * Your Custom Search Engine API key * Your Custom Search Engine ID * This data is sent each time you manually check a URL or when bulk checking is performed Service provided by: Google LLC * Terms of Service: https://developers.google.com/custom-search/terms * Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy * API Documentation: https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview Important Notes All external service connections are optional – you can choose which method(s) to use in the plugin settings You must provide your own API credentials for each service you wish to use The plugin only sends data when you actively check URLs – it does not automatically send data in the background All data transmission uses secure HTTPS connections Access tokens for Google Search Console are cached locally for 1 hour to minimize API calls If you do not configure the Google Custom Search API, the plugin may fall back to HTML parsing of Google search results, which is less reliable and may violate Google’s Terms of Service. We strongly recommend using the Custom Search API instead.

ReCrawler is a small WordPress Plugin for quickly notifying search engines whenever their website content is created, updated, or deleted. Improve your rankings by taking control of the crawling and indexing process, so search engines know what to focus on! Once installed, it detects pages/terms creation/update/deletion in WordPress and automatically submits the URLs in the background via ReCrawler, Google API, Bing API, Yandex API, and WebSub (formerly PubSubHubbub) protocols. It ensures that search engines invariably have the latest updates about your site. 🤖 What is ReCrawler? ReCrawler is an easy way for websites owners to instantly inform search engines about latest content changes on their website. In its simplest form, ReCrawler is a simple ping so that search engines know that a URL and its content has been added, updated, or deleted, allowing search engines to quickly reflect this change in their search results. Without ReCrawler, it can take days to weeks for search engines to discover that the content has changed, as search engines don’t crawl every URL often. With ReCrawler, search engines know immediately the “URLs that have changed, helping them prioritize crawl for these URLs and thereby limiting organic crawling to discover new content.” ReCrawler is offered under the terms of the Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons License and has support from Microsoft Bing, Yandex. ✅ Requirement for search engines Search Engines adopting the ReCrawler protocol agree that submitted URLs will be automatically shared with all other participating Search Engines. To participate, search engines must have a noticeable presence in at least one market. ⛑️ Documentation and support If you have some questions or suggestions, welcome to our GitHub repository. 💙 Love ReCrawler for WordPress?
