Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re facing issues with your IndexNow API key redirecting to your homepage when you try to check it. This issue can occur if the API key file is not created or accessible as expected.
To resolve this, you can manually create a text file with your API key in the root directory of your website. Here are the steps to follow:
- Create a text file named
[your_api_key].txt in the root folder of your website.
- Add your API key to this text file.
- After adding the API key, try checking the key again.
If you need further assistance or encounter any difficulties during this process, please feel free to reply here, and a human agent from our support team will assist you promptly.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
