Ahrefs' IndexNow Integration
IndexNow is an Internet protocol that instantly notifies participating search engines like Bing about changes to your website. So if you add, update, remove, or redirect pages, your changes will be picked up faster.

IndexNow saves resources

Good for website owners – and the planet.

More than 50% of the existing bots blindly guess when a page should be re-crawled, leading to unnecessary bandwidth usage.

With IndexNow, pages are only crawled when new changes are made to a page. If every website adopted IndexNow, it could save the equivalent of 31 million acres of forest 🌳🌳
