Notifies search engines that support the IndexNow protocol (Bing, Yandex and the other participating engines) as soon as a product, category or CMS page is saved in the admin, so the changed URL is picked up without waiting for a crawl. The module submits the URLs to the shared IndexNow endpoint and serves the verification key file the protocol requires.
It is for store owners who want content changes reflected quickly in IndexNow-participating engines. Google does not use IndexNow; nothing is submitted there. The module has no storefront output, so it works with any theme.

- Submits the URL of a product, category or CMS page to IndexNow when it is saved in the admin.
- URLs saved during one request are collected and sent once at the end of that request, in batches of up to 10,000 URLs.
- Serves the IndexNow key at
/panth_indexnow/keyon the storefront (plain text,noindex, not cached), with a 404 when the module is disabled or no key is set. - API key and enable switch per store view, so each store view can use its own key.
- Failures are logged to Magento's log files and never interrupt the save.
- No database tables, no cron jobs and no console commands.

Check the result with:
bin/magento module:status Panth_IndexNowThe module is switched off by default. Enter a key and enable it in the configuration, then open /panth_indexnow/key on your store's domain and confirm the key is returned.
Go to Stores > Configuration > Panth Extensions > IndexNow.
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Enable IndexNow | No | Submits changed URLs on save and serves the key file. |
| API Key | (empty) | Your IndexNow key. Also used to answer the key file request. |
Both settings can be set per default, website or store view. Configuration paths: panth_index_now/indexnow/enabled, panth_index_now/indexnow/api_key.
- Saving a product, a category or a CMS page in the admin queues its storefront URL for the store view the entity was saved in. At the end of the request the queued URLs are posted as one JSON request to the IndexNow endpoint at
api.indexnow.org/IndexNowwith the store host, the key and the key location. IndexNow shares submissions with all participating engines, so one submission is enough. - The key location sent is
<store base URL>/panth_indexnow/key. The same controller also answers/panth_indexnow/key?key=<key>(a.txtsuffix on the key is accepted), returning the key only when it matches the configured one. - Deletions are not submitted. Products saved without a store scope use the URL of the store view they were saved in.
- Results are written to Magento's log: successful submissions as info entries, unexpected HTTP responses and connection errors as warnings or errors. A 15 second request timeout keeps admin saves responsive if the endpoint is slow.
