# Content - Indexing API - - Joomla! 4 - Joomla! 5 - Joomla! 6 - [ plugin ](/content-tags/plugin) - [ content ](/content-tags/content) - [ Joomla! 5 ](/content-tags/joomla-5) - [ SEO ](/content-tags/seo) - [ Indexing API ](/content-tags/indexing-api) ![Content - Indexing API](https://cdn.richeyweb.com/images/articles/plg_content_indexingapi/content-indexing-api-2.webp) - [JED: Content - Indexing API](https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/site-management/seo-a-metadata/content-indexing-api/) Unleash your Joomla site’s full potential with "Content - Indexing API," the world’s only free Joomla plugin that catapults your content to the \*top of search engines! Imagine your articles dominating Google, Amazon, Bing, Naver, Seznam.cz, Yandex, and Yep results in record time—automatically, with every save. This isn’t just a tool; it’s your secret weapon to outshine the competition without spending a dime! \*Disclaimer: There are a lot of factors involved in getting your site to the top of the SERP, but certainly - being indexed is a big one. This plugin expedites the indexing process from sometimes days, to sometimes hours or even minutes. ## How It Works Picture this: every time you update an article, "Content - Indexing API" works its magic, instantly notifying major search engines to index your content. No waiting for sitemaps to be crawled—your pages are spotlighted the moment you hit save! With a quick setup guided by our crystal-clear documentation, you’ll harness this power across your entire site or hand-pick categories to shine. It’s like having a personal SEO assistant, delivering results without the hassle. ## Why You’ll Love Automatic Indexing Unlike costly alternatives, "Content - Indexing API" delivers the power of both the Google Web Search Indexing API and IndexNow, free for all Joomla users. It’s the only plugin of its kind, born from my passion for our community, ensuring your site gets noticed faster. Boost traffic, enhance visibility, and climb SERPs effortlessly—why settle for less when you can have the best for free? ![The request status is displayed immediately](https://cdn.richeyweb.com/images/articles/plg_content_indexingapi/indexing-api-inception-cropped.webp) The request status is displayed immediately ## Why Install Content - Indexing API? This plugin is a game-changer—exclusive, free, and designed to elevate your Joomla site above the rest. Imagine the edge you’ll gain as your content races to the forefront of search results, drawing more visitors and opportunities. My commitment to open-source shines through, offering you a tool that competitors can’t match. Don’t let setup fears hold you back—the rewards are worth it, and I’ve made it as easy as possible with detailed support. I keep emphasizing free because this is really a game changer for the little guy, which I was once. I mean, I try to eat right - but age catches up to everyone. Actually, I mean the small blog, business, hobbyist - who might not need or want to spend on annual subscriptions to allow them to do this. I wanted the functionality, but I was not willing to spend the money on extensions to do it for me. I would rather give it to you for free, and you pay me to build a custom submission plugin for whatever extension you need. The hard work is already done, and I'm building the custom plugin interface into it - so creating your plugin will be dead simple and cheap (cheaper if you allow me to release it for free.) The Joomla community used to be so much more supportive than it currently is. I'm trying to bring that back. ## Practical Applications - [ Where is the API?](/software/examples/indexing-api/where-is-the-api) - [ Trigger Indexing API for Contact on Linked User Update](/software/examples/indexing-api/trigger-indexing-api-for-contact-on-linked-user-update) ## Features - Dual Indexing Magic: Pushes your content to Google and IndexNow partners instantly. - Immediate Feedback: You see what the plugin sees, the submission response code (color coded, with provider designated messages) - SEO Supercharge: Elevates your site’s search rankings with every update. - Customizable Reach: Target all or specific categories for maximum impact. - Community Gift: The only free dual-API solution, crafted with love for the Joomla community. - Effortless Success: Quick setup unlocks a world of SEO possibilities. - Extensions Integration: Works in com\_content, com\_contact, com\_newsfeeds, com\_tags, com\_weblinks, and com\_menus. - Cache Aware: Can be configured to delete pages from cache prior to submitting to the indexes. - Robots Aware: Observes the item's meta robots setting to determine if it should or should not be indexed. - Extensible: Capable of indexing 3rd party extensions (with examples). ## Indexing API Examples The [Examples](/software/examples) section of the website has a subsection for examples of Indexing API triggers. ### Indexing Trigger from a User Plugin The reference plugin is a User plugin, which looks for an onUserAfterSave event, and if that user has an associated contact, it sends the URL to be indexed.
