IndexNow

A search-engine protocol that lets sites push URL changes to Bing and Yandex in real time.

IndexNow is an open protocol supported by Bing and Yandex (Google has not adopted it) that lets a site push notifications when URLs are added, updated, or deleted. It removes the dependency on a crawler discovering the change. Compatible CMS and static-site setups ping IndexNow on publish; the typical effect is hours-to-days faster indexing on supported engines.
