Instant Indexing & Check for Google SEO vs Really Simple Security – Simple and Performant Security (formerly Really Simple SSL)

Instant Indexing & Check is the ultimate WordPress plugin to get your content indexed faster on Google and monitor your indexing status directly from your WordPress dashboard. Our plugin solves the biggest SEO issue today: getting Google to discover and index your new articles quickly. Core Features The plugin is divided into two major capabilities: Checking Status and Indexing. 1. Verification Modes (Check Status) * Google API Mode (Free): Use your own Google Cloud Service Account (JSON key) to check the Google Search Console status of your URLs. It is free but requires a complex setup and is subjected to strict Google API quotas. * NO API Mode (Premium): Skip the complex Google Cloud API configuration. Our “NO API” mode allows you to check your URL’s indexing status instantly. It consumes 0.2 credits per check, requires zero technical setup, and bypasses daily Google API limits. 2. Indexing Modes * Google API Indexing (Free): Send indexing requests directly to Google via the standard Google Indexing API. This is basic indexing with an average success rate. * Premium Force Index (Premium): A high-performance, authoritative indexing service boasting an over 90% success rate for stubborn and hard-to-index URLs. Stop waiting weeks for Google to index your content. Consumes 1 credit per URL. * Instant Indexing (Premium): Directly push your URLs to Google’s crawler. Your links show up in the Google index in just 1 to 5 minutes. Best for time critical pages and hard to index links. Consumes 10 credits per URL. 3. Auto-Indexing * Automatically send your new posts or updated pages to Google the exact moment you hit publish. You can choose to auto-index using the Free Google API or force it with Premium indexing. 4. WooCommerce Support * If WooCommerce is installed, your product pages are indexed and checked just like posts and pages, and your product categories, tags and brands are available in the category indexing screen. Perfect for online stores with hundreds of products that Google never crawls. You can turn the integration off at any time from the settings. Why go Premium? The Premium version unlocks the NO API check mode, the Premium Force Index network, and Instant Indexing, saving you hours of tedious API configuration while guaranteeing unparalleled indexing speed. You manage your credits directly from the dashboard.
