{"slug": "show-hn-indexfast-see-which-of-your-pages-search-engines-actually-know-about", "title": "Show HN: IndexFast – see which of your pages search engines actually know about", "summary": "IndexFast launched as a free-for-one-site tool that watches a site's sitemap and automatically submits new and updated URLs through IndexNow to Bing, Yandex, Naver, Seznam and Yep, with paid plans at $19 and $99 per 30 days. The service tracks up to 500 URLs on the free tier with daily sitemap checks, and offers an MCP server, REST API, CLI and SKILL.md so AI editors such as Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf and VS Code can submit pages directly. IndexFast states that Google does not accept IndexNow and that no tool can guarantee Google indexing, so it instead inspects URLs for noindex tags, canonical mismatches, redirects, robots.txt blocks and HTTP errors and resubmits sitemaps via Search Console.", "body_md": "### Free\n\n$0\n\nTry it on one site.\n\n- 1 website\n- 500 URLs tracked\n- Daily sitemap check\n\n[Start free](https://indexfast.co/signup)\n\nIt watches your sitemap and sends new pages to every IndexNow engine.\n\nFree for one site, forever.
