InstantIndexNow — IndexNow Submitter & Redirect Tracer

Submit URLs via IndexNow with your key file verified first. Trace redirect chains hop by hop and unshorten links.

InstantIndexNow tells search engines about your pages the moment you publish, and shows you exactly where a URL ends up before you submit it. SUBMIT WITH THE KEY FILE CHECKED FIRST One click sends the current page through the IndexNow protocol. Before anything is sent, your key file is fetched and confirmed to contain your key. This matters more than it sounds. The shared endpoint returns "202 Accepted" for a submission whose key was never published, validates it afterwards, and discards it silently if the check fails. Verifying first is what makes a reported success mean something. TRACE REDIRECT CHAINS Follow a URL through every hop and see the status code, timing, redirect mechanism, cookies, security headers and resolved IP address at each step. Tracing runs locally in your browser, which is the only way to see the IP address a hostname actually resolved to. UNSHORTEN LINKS Check where a shortened link leads before you open it. 80 shortening services are recognised by name, and any redirect is followed whether the service is recognised or not. CHECK SITE TRAFFIC Authority, global rank, visits, keywords and traffic value, using your own provider API keys. Every figure is labelled measured, estimated, or no data. Tables stay empty when nothing real is behind them rather than filling with invented rows. THE TWO TOGETHER After a trace, the extension offers to submit the destination URL rather than the one you started from — which is the whole point of checking first. That option is withheld when the destination returns a 4xx or 5xx, because asking search engines to crawl a broken page is worse than doing nothing. BULK MODE Up to 25 URLs at once, with CSV export. PRIVACY No account required. Your domain and key are stored locally in your browser. Submissions are sent to instantindexnow.com. Traces run in the browser and are not sent anywhere.
