Key points

What you see in the admin

Visitors see nothing. The plugin screen shows the key state, the queue and the journal, and the editor has a box with the page status.

What the admin gets

Before sending, the plugin reads your SEO plugin (Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress, TSF) and the page itself: meta robots, X-Robots-Tag, canonical, redirect and code.

How much it costs

The base version is free. Pro costs 990 UAH for a one-year licence. A year of updates, technical support and all Pro features.

The trial starts when you ask

A fresh install is the free version, nothing switches on by itself. The “Try Pro for 7 days” button → e-mail → the key right in the window and by e-mail.

One key — a site and a staging copy

Moving the site? Unlink the licence on the old domain and activate it on the new one yourself. A staging copy (staging., dev.) works with the same key and does not take a site slot. For studios — keys for 5 or 25 sites, or unlimited.

Technical requirements

  • WordPress 6.2+, PHP 7.4+.
  • A Bing Webmaster key for Bing URL Submission.

Full module description

Instant Index tells search engines about new and changed pages through IndexNow and Bing, and shows what happened to each address.

What you see in the admin

Visitors see nothing. The plugin screen shows the key state, the queue and the journal, and the editor has a box with the page status.

What the admin gets

Before sending, the plugin reads your SEO plugin (Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress, TSF) and the page itself: meta robots, X-Robots-Tag, canonical, redirect and code. A blocked address does not go, and the journal says why.

How it works, step by step

  1. The plugin creates a key.
  2. You publish or change a page.
  3. The plugin checks it.
  4. The address goes to the queue.
  5. The result appears in the journal.

Under the hood

  • WordPress serves the key file, and where .txt does not reach it, the plugin makes a real file.
  • A 10-minute pause per address and retries by Retry-After.
  • The plugin stays silent on test copies.

How to install

  1. Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin: pick the zip and activate.
  2. Open Instant Index, check the key file and paste a Bing key if needed.
  3. For Pro: paste the key or start the 7-day trial.

The module is not on wordpress.org yet: the free version and Pro are one archive from this page. Without a key it works as the free version.

Is this for Google?

No, the plugin sends only to IndexNow and Bing, and it has no Google check.

What if a page has noindex?

It is not sent, and the journal explains why.

Does it work on a site copy?
