Sham

The submission is a sham. There's no real interaction between Google and the link; you only receive a green message confirming the action, but in reality, nothing has happened. The links have not been, and will not be, indexed.

Don't use composer packages or namespace them

By Nicolas Lemoine (nlemoine) on September 3, 2024

Hello,

I'm using in a composer based WordPress stack and I'm having issues with with your plugin dependencies. Choosing Composer in the context of a WordPress plugin implies certain prerequisites and responsabilities. You have three (unique) solutions:

  • Provide your plugin without autoload/vendor via Composer (as Yoast or ACF do) so that a WordPress project managed with Composer (which is very often the case on “pro” sites using Bedrock or equivalent stacks) is aware of your dependencies/constraints and can warn the user of a compatibility problem or manage the constraints of other dependencies (the whole point of a dependency manager).
  • Prefix your dependencies (for example, with Yoast), which allows you to isolate your dependencies (by automatically modifying their namespace - PHPScoper does this very well) and avoid conflicts.
  • You may provide a bundled plugin, but composing it should only be used for its autoload functionality (no dependencies).

Your plugin is using very popular dependencies (Monolog, Guzzle) that may conflict with a user based installation or another plugin.

If you intend to use external dependencies, please do it the right way.

need feature

By vtrn on April 22, 2024

Great plugin, but it doesn't have one of the most important features!
As you know and it is included in the plugin description, this is a sensitive feature and Google does not like spam requests.
The plugin should add a feature that has a checkmark before the content update to determine whether the plugin should send it to Google or not.
Otherwise, you have to go to the settings and disable and re-enable it every time, which wastes a lot of time

Not working

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p class="">I tested it, the code works but it doesn't index quickly, it takes 2-3 days to index without this module, it indexes in 3-4 hours, to be precise, very disappointed with this module. site here</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

After my API site is broken, I learnt one thing about Index API Google

By Van Vo (vandevo) on July 12, 2023

It's a good plug in but before using it, you should read the thread Indexing API Quickstart from Google (please search it since I can't add link here):

"The Indexing API allows any site owner to directly notify Google when pages are added or removed. This allows Google to schedule pages for a fresh crawl, which can lead to higher quality user traffic. Currently, the Indexing API can only be used to crawl pages with either JobPosting or BroadcastEvent embedded in a VideoObject. For websites with many short-lived pages like job postings or livestream videos, the Indexing API keeps content fresh in search results because it allows updates to be pushed individually."

So it's not made for every business. Do it at your own risk.

Works very well. But be careful what you use the plugin for.

Rank Math Says on their Site if your website is a Business Don't Use it!

By itsjanel on October 23, 2022

So basically if you have a diary or forum. If you have Adsence or products or paid services this plug-in is not for most of us. If your site generates money this will cause you all kinds of issues. I am glad I read up on it first. See their disclaimer. `Note: Google recommends using the Indexing API ONLY for JobPosting or BroadcastEvent embedded in VideoObject websites. During our tests, we found that it worked on any type of website with great results and created this plugin for testing. If you are not sure whether you want to be using this or not, please stop reading and don’t proceed further. You should not use this indexing API on MONEY websites, as Google recommends. Please proceed at your own risk. We understand this is not for everyone Read it on their blog post called How You Can Get Google To Crawl Your Website Instantly, highlighted in Pink.

Nice plugin
