What the author says it does
Get your website’s pages, and content crawled immediately! Use the Instant Indexing plugin to beat your competition and rank higher.
★★★★★
Note: Google recommends that you use the Indexing API ONLY for Job Posting and Live Streaming websites. However, it works on any type of website and many of our users have seen great results already. Please proceed with caution.
Whether you are a novice blogger or a seasoned SEO – you know the importance of getting into the Google index. It is the very first step before your website can see any organic traffic coming from Google or any other search engine.
If your pages don’t get indexed, your website is essentially invisible to Google and all the visitors – visitors that would otherwise “see” your website in the search engines.
So, it is pretty important that your new content gets crawled/indexed fast, and it is equally important for your already published content to get updated in Google as well.
How do you do one or the other? Or, how about doing them both?
Enter the Instant Indexing plugin by Rank Math
When you publish new content or update old content on your WordPress website, the Instant Indexing plugin sends a crawl request to Google using the Google Indexing API.
The result? Almost immediate indexing of your content. Here is an example.
The opening of the plugin's own description. The full text, installation notes and changelog are on its WordPress.org page.
Questions the author answers
Can I use the plugin without Rank Math?
Yes, you absolutely can. You can use the Instant Indexing plugin with any SEO plugin you like. But, we recommend using the Instant Indexing API plugin with Rank Math SEO for best results.
Can I submit pages that do not have Job Posting or Livestream structured data?
Although the Google Indexing API officially supports pages containing Job Posting and Livestream structured data – it is officially recommended to use only on such websites. But, it can be used with any website. But, do proceed with caution if you are not comfortable with this.
Will my pages and posts get indexed instantly?
Technically, yes. That’s what the plugin is made to do. But, please note that we guarantee instant crawling using this plugin. Whether or not Google will index your content after crawling is and always will be in Google’s control. They have the final say in what they want to appear in their SERPs and what they don’t.
Latest changelog entry

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
