VelocityIndex Lite<\/strong> submits your URLs directly to the IndexNow<\/a> API, which notifies Bing, Yandex, Naver, and Seznam that your page changed \u2014 so they can crawl it sooner instead of waiting for organic discovery.<\/p>\n\n Important:<\/strong> IndexNow confirms your URL was received<\/em>. Each search engine independently decides if, when, and how it indexes your page \u2014 this plugin submits, it does not guarantee indexing or ranking.<\/p>\n\n No API keys, no account, no quota<\/strong> \u2014 the IndexNow verification key is generated automatically and hosted on your own domain.<\/p>\n\n That's it. No account, no API keys \u2014 the plugin generates and hosts your IndexNow verification key automatically.<\/p>\n\n Pro is a separate plugin<\/strong> with its own plans. It adds, among other things:<\/p>\n\n Current plans, pricing, and feature details always live on the official pricing page<\/a>. Purchasing happens on velocityindex.ai \u2014 never inside this free plugin.<\/p>\n\n This plugin connects to external services. Below is a full disclosure of what is sent, when, and why. Only the IndexNow submission is part of the plugin's core function; everything else is optional and off by default.<\/p>\n\n The IndexNow key is auto-generated locally and stored in your WordPress database. It is only shared with IndexNow as required by the protocol, and served publicly at Yes. The IndexNow protocol needs no account or API key. A verification key is generated automatically and served at No. The plugin is fully functional without any registration. When you submit a URL, it goes directly from your site to the IndexNow API \u2014 no intermediate server is required.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. URL submission is free and unlimited. The background queue processes URLs in small batches with automatic retries to be a good network citizen \u2014 those are technical protections, not a paid quota.<\/p><\/dd>\n Lite submits via IndexNow only (Bing, Yandex, Naver, Seznam). Google is not part of IndexNow. The separate Pro plugin supports the Google Indexing API for the page types Google officially allows: job postings and livestream ( For the core function, the IndexNow API receives: the submitted URL, your site's hostname, your IndexNow key, and the key-file location on your domain. Nothing else is required.<\/p>\n\n Two optional features are off by default<\/strong> and can be enabled\/changed anytime in VelocityIndex \u2192 Settings<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n See the External Services section for full details.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, including subdirectory installations and multisite networks (network activation supported; each site gets its own tables, settings, and IndexNow key).<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. VelocityIndex handles URL submission only and does not conflict with any SEO plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n All plugin data \u2014 its own database tables, options, cached AI tips, and scheduled tasks \u2014 is cleanly removed, on single sites and multisite networks alike.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nFeatures<\/h4>\n\n
