About IndexAPI Manager
From the official readme · v1.0.1Description
IndexAPI Manager plugin allows you to instantly send indexing requests for your website pages to Google through the official Google Indexing API by using the secure indexapi.ir web service.
Google indexing service helps your website pages get discovered and appear faster in Google search results. Fast indexing can significantly improve your site’s visibility and SEO performance.
The biggest advantage for Iranian users is that Google Indexing API is restricted in Iran, and websites hosted on Iranian servers cannot use external plugins to send indexing requests. This plugin connects your website securely to the official Google API via the trusted indexapi.ir service, enabling safe and reliable indexing requests.
Features:
* Fast indexing of your pages
* Ability to send up to 200 URLs per day
* Support for posts, pages, and custom post types
* Enable or disable indexing request per post type
* Enable or disable indexing request for individual posts
* Support for categories, tags, and custom taxonomies
* View the status and details of the last indexing request sent for each post
* Secure connection via HashiCorp Vault integration
