About this plugin
IndexMachine takes the URLs you submit through its indexing pipeline so your pages get discovered and crawled sooner, then logs and DNS-verifies each Googlebot (and Bingbot) crawl of those URLs so you can confirm the result yourself. This plugin connects your WordPress site to your IndexMachine account with an API key.
Features
- Add your IndexMachine API key and see your live credit balance right in WordPress.
- Automatically submit new content to IndexMachine when it is published.
- Optionally re-submit when a published item is updated.
- Choose the processing tier (Standard / Priority / Maximum) and an optional scheduled-release window (spread submissions over up to 30 days).
- Submit any published post or page manually from its editor, and see the last submission status in a column in your posts list.
- A URLs screen listing your published content with Sent / Not-sent filters, pagination, and per-row selection – submit selected, submit all, or just the not-yet-sent ones.
- Import URLs from a sitemap (including sitemap indexes) and submit them – with an upfront credit-cost estimate and a progress bar. Sent URLs are tracked, so you can submit only the not-yet-sent ones and preview which are already sent.
- Send again: URLs already in your queue are normally skipped and cost nothing – tick “Send again” to deliberately queue another processing round for them.
- Block any post or page so it is never submitted – not even automatically.
- A built-in Setup guide and a link to full instructions when the API key isn’t set yet.
- Optional daily limit: cap how many URLs are sent per day, with a configurable reset hour (default: unlimited).
- Pick which content types are eligible.
You need an IndexMachine account and credits. Signing up is free and takes a minute: new accounts get 50 free credits – enough to index 50 URLs – and no credit card is required to start. There is no subscription; when you need more, you pay per URL with prepaid credits.
External services
net) – a third-party service operated by IndexMachine – to submit your URLs for indexing and to read your credit balance.
- What is sent, and when: when you publish or manually submit an item (or when automatic submission is enabled), the plugin sends that item’s public URL, and your API key for authentication, to https://app.indexmachine.net/api/v1/urls. To display your balance it sends your API key to https://app.indexmachine.net/api/v1/credits.
- What is not sent: no post content, personal data, or visitor data is sent – only the public URL of the content you choose to submit.
- Use of the service is governed by the IndexMachine Terms of Service (https://indexmachine.net/terms/) and Privacy Policy (https://indexmachine.net/privacy/).
