Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
IndexNow Plugin for WordPress enables automated submission of URLs from WordPress sites to the multiple search engines without the need to register and verify your site with them. Once installed, the plugin will automatically generate and host the API key on your site. It detects page creation/update/ deletion in WordPress and automatically submits the URLs in the background.
This ensures that search engines will always have the latest updates about your site. org/indexnow and these URLs are shared to all participating search engines.
The plugin automatically respects noindex directives to prevent submission of URLs that should not be indexed. It checks the actual rendered HTML for <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> tags. It also checks X-Robots-Tag HTTP headers and WordPress site-wide search engine visibility settings.
Some other handy features included in the plugin:
Toggle the automatic submission feature.
Exclude specific URL paths from auto-submission using wildcard patterns.

View list of recent URL submissions from the plugin.
