Overview

About this plugin

ReCrawler is a small WordPress Plugin for quickly notifying search engines whenever their website content is created, updated, or deleted.

Improve your rankings by taking control of the crawling and indexing process, so search engines know what to focus on!

Once installed, it detects pages/terms creation/update/deletion in WordPress and automatically submits the URLs in the background via ReCrawler, Google API, Bing API, Yandex API, and WebSub (formerly PubSubHubbub) protocols.

It ensures that search engines invariably have the latest updates about your site.

🤖 What is ReCrawler?

ReCrawler is an easy way for websites owners to instantly inform search engines about latest content changes on their website. In its simplest form, ReCrawler is a simple ping so that search engines know that a URL and its content has been added, updated, or deleted, allowing search engines to quickly reflect this change in their search results.

Without ReCrawler, it can take days to weeks for search engines to discover that the content has changed, as search engines don’t crawl every URL often. ”

ReCrawler is offered under the terms of the Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons License and has support from Microsoft Bing, Yandex.

✅ Requirement for search engines

Search Engines adopting the ReCrawler protocol agree that submitted URLs will be automatically shared with all other participating Search Engines. To participate, search engines must have a noticeable presence in at least one market.
