IndexNow is a no-cost, open-source web indexing protocol introduced by Microsoft and Yandex [1] in October 2021 to address the inefficiencies of traditional web crawling. Traditional search engines rely on web crawlers to discover changes on the web, which can take few days or even weeks to communicate and list content in search engine results pages (SERPs).
IndexNow aims to streamline this process by enabling real-time content notifications from websites to search engines. The protocol allows website owners to easily communicate to search engines when a web page's content is created, updated, or deleted, thereby facilitating faster and more efficient indexing. [2]
As a free protocol, IndexNow operates using a "push" mechanism, as opposed to the traditional "pull" method used by most search engines. The pull method involves web crawlers visiting a website and gathering data, taking anywhere from a few days to several weeks to communicate and list content in search engines.
With IndexNow, whenever a URL is added, updated, or deleted, a notification is "pushed" to participating search engines, prompting them to change their index immediately. This reduces the need for search engines to perform resource intensive crawling and ensures that web content is updated in search results in near real-time.
Several content management systems such as WordPress, and platforms like Wix and Duda support IndexNow, making it accessible to a wide range of users.
If these options are not applicable or available, website owners can generate an API key from the IndexNow website and place it in their site's root directory. They can use this key to send HTTP requests to inform search engines about any changes made to a URL or a set of URLs, whether they have been added, updated, or deleted.
For one URL:
https://<searchengine>/indexnow?url=url-changed&key=your-key
For a set of URLs:
POST /indexnow HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 Host: <searchengine> { "host": "www.example.com", "key": "c0bc5d372dee4fd5b6cc80db430b007a", "urlList": [ "https://www.example.com/url1", "https://www.example.com/folder/url2", "https://www.example.com/url3" ] }
The key, UTF=8 text file, is managed and hosted by the web site at the root of their host.
The search engine endpoints are listed on the protocol site.
For no cost, website owners can view indexing performance, learn about errors, and pull reports on URLs submitted, crawled, and indexed by signing up for a free account on Bing Webmaster Tools.
As of now, IndexNow is supported by Bing, Yandex, Naver, Seznam, and Yep. Search Engines supporting the IndexNow protocol agree to share all submitted key-validated URLs with all other IndexNow search engines. [3]
Several CMS and CDN providers have integrated support for IndexNow, facilitating easier and more efficient implementation for website owners:
