FAQ
The page is not in search results
IndexNow only notifies the search engine. Timing and indexing are up to the search engine. Yandex: IndexNow support.
Do I need Scheduler?
No. Scheduler only backs up tick on sites with little HTTP traffic.
| Method | When | Per-pass limit |
|---|---|---|
| Queue tick | After enqueue: resource save, manager page load, Send (shutdown of the same request) | 25 due URLs |
| Scheduler | Minute cron when the package is installed | indexnow_batch_size |
| Process queue | Button on the Status tab | indexnow_batch_size |
Without Scheduler and traffic, click Process queue. Details: Queue and delivery.
Does “Send URL” submit to Yandex immediately?
No immediate POST to Yandex from the form. URLs are enqueued with update. kickQueue() schedules a tick when the queue is on. When the queue is off, it runs the worker immediately.
What is sent when a page is deleted?
URL with action delete. Unpublishing also enqueues delete.
Can I notify third-party sites?
No. Manual enqueue only accepts hosts from your contexts. Localhost and private IPs in the URL are rejected too.
What is the default endpoint?
https://yandex.com/indexnow (Yandex docs). Set another IndexNow-compatible URL in indexnow_endpoint.
Does IndexNow break resource save?
It should not. If save fails, look at another plugin or validation. IndexNow log lines alone do not roll back the save.
Where is delivery history?
Extras → IndexNow → History. Retention is controlled by indexnow_history_retention_days.
Separate packages for MODX 2 and 3?
No. One transport package.
