🔎 Search engine indexing (IndexNow)
Automatically tell Bing, Yandex, Seznam and others when your public pages change.
This system supports IndexNow — a simple standard that instantly notifies participating search engines (Bing, Yandex, Seznam, Naver and others, all from a single submission) when your public pages change, so they re-crawl them quickly instead of waiting to rediscover them on their own.
It runs automatically
- It is on by default. Your public pages only change when a new version of the app is deployed, so a submission goes out automatically after each deploy — there is no schedule to manage.
- Only the public, login-free pages are submitted: the English and German landing pages and every Help & Guide section (the same list as your sitemap). Your dashboard, settings, data and the API are never submitted.
- It only submits from a real public https:// domain — a development address or a bare IP is skipped — and a passive cluster standby never submits (its content mirrors the active node).
The verification key
IndexNow proves you own the domain by fetching a small key file from the root of your site (/<key>.txt). The key is generated automatically the first time it is needed and stored in settings — there is nothing you must set up. It is not a secret (it is meant to be public). You can view or regenerate it, and submit on demand with Ping now, on Settings → Search indexing.
Note Nothing private is ever exposed: only your already-public pages are submitted, and the key file is public by design.
