Frequently Asked Questions
A sitemap ping is an HTTP request sent to a search engine's ping endpoint, informing it that your sitemap has been updated. This triggers the search engine to re-fetch your sitemap and discover new or updated pages.
Ping your sitemap every time you publish new content or make significant updates to existing pages. Avoid pinging more than once per day as excessive pinging can be ignored by search engines.
IndexNow is a protocol developed by Microsoft (Bing) and Yandex that allows website owners to instantly notify search engines when content changes. It's supported by Bing, Yandex, and other engines, providing near-instant indexing updates.
Most websites have their sitemap at /sitemap.xml (e.g., https://example.com/sitemap.xml). WordPress sites using Yoast SEO use /sitemap_index.xml. You can also check your robots.txt file for the Sitemap: directive.
Google deprecated its sitemap ping endpoint but still accepts sitemap submissions via Google Search Console. Our tool pings all available endpoints including Bing, IndexNow, and other services that actively support ping URLs.
