Error submitting page to IndexNow

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with submitting your page to IndexNow. The error message "Error submitting page to IndexNow" can occur for various reasons. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Check Your API Key: Ensure that the API key for IndexNow is correctly set up. If the text file containing the API key is not created automatically, you may need to manually add it to the root of your website with the name [your_api_key].txt and include the API key in the contents.

2. Review Submission Limits: Make sure you are not exceeding the submission limits. The IndexNow API has a quota of 10,000 URLs per HTTP POST request. If you have submitted too many requests in a short period, you might receive an error.

3. Disable Auto-Submission: If you are experiencing frequent errors, consider disabling the automatic submission feature temporarily. You can do this by navigating to Rank Math SEO → Instant Indexing → Settings and deselecting the auto-submit options for Posts, Media, and Pages.
   

4. Check for Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins or server settings may conflict with Rank Math’s functionality. Try deactivating other plugins temporarily to see if that resolves the issue.

If these steps do not resolve the problem, please reply to this ticket with any additional details or error messages you are encountering, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

Thank you for raising this concern!
