The Playful Sparkle - IndexNow extension for OpenCart 3.x+, 4.x+ revolutionizes how your store communicates with search engines by leveraging the powerful IndexNow protocol. This innovative extension allows your store to quickly and automatically notify supported search engines like Bing and Yandex whenever content such as products, categories, or articles is added, updated, or deleted. By ensuring these changes are indexed faster than traditional crawling methods, the extension significantly improves your store's visibility and search performance.

The extension comes packed with advanced features, including queue management, which enables you to submit URLs individually or in bulk, with the ability to clear the queue as needed. It offers multiple URL submission options, such as importing URLs from an XML sitemap via a URL, uploading an XML sitemap, or manually entering URLs. To further enhance usability, it provides effortless management of service keys, including the ability to regenerate keys for each store individually.

Automated processes are made possible with cron support, ensuring that queued URLs are submitted regularly without manual intervention. Detailed log tracking provides clear insights into the status of submitted URLs, with options to clear logs when necessary for better maintenance. The extension's customizable store settings allow you to enable or disable IndexNow services for each store and tailor URL submission and notification settings to fit your unique requirements.

With its easy integration, seamless installation, and setup process, the extension is designed to deliver maximum efficiency. By harnessing the power of IndexNow, this extension ensures your store’s content changes are indexed faster and more effectively than ever before.
