描述
SoftReviewed Multi-Engine Indexing notifies Google, Bing, and Yandex the instant you publish, update, or delete a post or page on your WordPress website.
Instead of waiting days or weeks for search engine bots to crawl your XML sitemap, SoftReviewed Multi-Engine Indexing pushes real-time notifications directly to search engine crawlers via their official APIs within seconds.

常見問題
-
Does this plugin replace other SEO plugins?
-
SoftReviewed Multi-Engine Indexing works seamlessly alongside all major SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress, All in One SEO, The SEO Framework). It focuses solely on real-time API indexing, allowing your main SEO plugin to handle metadata and schema.
-
How does IndexNow work?
-
IndexNow is an open protocol initiated by Microsoft Bing and supported by Yandex and other search engines. The plugin automatically generates a unique authentication key and serves it at
https://yoursite.com/<key>.txt. When content is published, Bing is alerted and immediately shares the signal with participating engines. -
What Google pages does the Google Indexing API support?
-
Google officially documents the Indexing API for JobPosting and BroadcastEvent (livestream) structured data, but many site owners report accelerated indexing for standard articles and pages. Sitemaps and Google Search Console remain standard routes alongside this API.
-
Does this slow down the post publishing process?
-
No. Submissions are pushed to a background queue using WordPress transients and cron scheduling (
srmei_submit_event), so clicking “Publish” or “Update” in the block editor remains instant. -
Where can I find more documentation and updates?
-
You can find full documentation, guides, and feature releases on SoftReviewed and softreviewed.com.
