TLDR

Rapidly alert search engines to the most recent content changes...

According to Fabrice Canel from Microsoft, the IndexNow protocol was the source of 7% of all new URLs that users clicked on in Bing Search. In actuality, IndexNow has expanded significantly; currently, over 16 million websites use it, and they publish over 1.2 billion URLs daily to the IndexNow API. Hocalwire lets you specify a special URL for each tale and serves the narrative by identifying the device that made the initial request. We can offer different pages and views from the same domain if necessary thanks to robust front-end architecture.

IndexNow's growth

With the addition of integration with Duda, the All in One WordPress SEO plugin, and the Rank Math SEO plugin in February 2022, IndexNow has expanded to handle millions of websites. Google indicated it will be testing this protocol, and Microsoft unveiled an easy-to-use WordPress plugin for IndexNow. Then, Microsoft reported in February 2022 that 80,000 websites are currently using IndexNow for URL submission. SEOPress added integration in March 2022, expanding the platform by an additional 200,000 sites. Yoast SEO added support in June, making it simple for many WordPress sites to enable the feature. Just a few months after IndexNow's initial rollout, it gained millions of sites embracing it thanks to those suppliers integrating it. Over 16 million websites are currently using IndexNow. Stories are directly listed for indexing for the Google Discover Feature in the Hocalwire CMS editor's indexing features. The same is enabled by default for all tales, and the settings may be frequently repeated.


Describe IndexNow

Website owners can use IndexNow to rapidly alert search engines to the most recent content changes on their pages. IndexNow is a simple ping protocol so that search engines know that a URL and its content have been added, modified, or deleted, allowing search engines to instantly reflect this change in their search results. In January 2022, co-sharing for IndexNow became completely operational. Hocalwire CMS handles the technical parts of keeping Large Sitemap, Indexing pages for Google, Optimizing page load times, Maintaining assets and file systems, and Warning for broken links and pages while you handle all these non-technical components of SEO for Enterprise sites. If you're searching for an enterprise-grade content management system, these are significant value adds.

Integrations

Why Yoast opted to incorporate IndexNow into its premium plugin is because Microsoft decided to build its own plugin for WordPress sites to use it. Why was it included now by Yoast? The second major development that caused us to reconsider IndexNow is the most recent modification to the protocol. The IndexNow team switched the API's endpoint from pinging every single supported search engine individually to a single API that is controlled by the protocol. This reduces the number of sites that must ping each other, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the operation. The time has come to deploy IndexNow with a new integration in Yoast SEO because everything fits into our vision of a long-term crawling and indexing solution, the business said.

Google support?

Oh no, not yet. Although Google stated that it was testing IndexNow last year, little has been said about it since. However, as we have seen in the search industry, things change quickly and frequently. There have been some reports that Google will not embrace this protocol.

Why we are concerned

As we previously stated, quick indexing is a search engine optimizer's dream when it comes to providing search engines with the most recent material on a site. If you care about quick indexing, it makes sense to implement this protocol because it just requires minimal developer work to add it to your site. With the help of XML sitemaps, Hocalwire CMS can arrange and make searchable your unorganized, disorganized website.

Aside from that, Microsoft stated that it is "trying to harness IndexNow signals to better enhance our crawl machine learning stack." By the fall, Microsoft stated that it anticipates "much more efficient crawling of websites that have embraced IndexNow with a clear content change signal, resulting in faster updates and less crawl." To keep up with the Google Update cycle for its search engine, Hocalwire CMS features a carefully curated collection of settings that are automatically updated.
