IndexFixer — Google Index Monitoring for WordPress

IndexFixer Pro is a WordPress plugin that shows the real Google indexing status of every URL on your site — inside wp-admin, with history — and runs a dynamic internal-linking loop that helps Google discover the pages it keeps missing.

This repository is the public technical documentation. The plugin itself is a paid product ($60/year, single site, 14-day refund).

What it does

• Connects to Google Search Console with a read-only OAuth scope (webmasters.readonly) — no Google Cloud project, no API keys, no JSON files. Two clicks.
• Inspections run on our servers (api.zinkwp.com) via the official URL Inspection API, within Google's limits (2,000 inspections/day per property, 600/min). Results are stored server-side and mirrored into your WordPress dashboard.
• Every URL gets a status: Indexed / Not indexed / Discovered / Excluded, with verdict, coverage state, last Googlebot crawl time and full history charts.
• New posts are inspected within minutes of publishing, everything else on a rolling cycle with prioritization.

The indexing loop (the interesting part)

A front-end widget lists your not-indexed posts as real, visible HTML links — ordered by neglect:

today:            every page  →  /article-8472/    (Googlebot has never crawled it)
tomorrow:         every page  →  /article-9211/    (not crawled for 94 days)
after it indexes: every page  →  /article-10482/   (next in line)

1. The widget surfaces what's missing (only live, published pages; never drafts or deleted URLs).
2. Googlebot follows the links — internal links are Google's primary discovery mechanism.
3. IndexFixer moves those exact URLs to the front of its own inspection queue (not Google's — nobody controls that).
4. The moment a page turns indexed, it drops out and the next one slides in. Fully automatic.

There is also a category-aware variant that only lists not-indexed posts from the current category, keeping links topically relevant.

What it can and cannot do

Crawling ≠ indexing. The loop removes the discovery bottleneck ("Google can't find this URL or won't revisit it"). It cannot fix "Google crawled this page and judged it thin or duplicate" — that's a content problem, and no internal link solves it. IndexFixer tells you which case each page is:

• Discovered — currently not indexed → discovery / crawl-budget problem → the widget helps.
• Crawled — currently not indexed → usually content quality → improve the page first.

The URL Inspection API only reads status — it never submits anything to Google. Any tool claiming to "force" indexing of regular pages via an API is misrepresenting what Google allows (the Indexing API is restricted to job postings and broadcast events).

Numbers from our own sites

Across 12 production sites (data through August 2026, both groups measured on the same clock — from publication date):

Metric	URLs surfaced by the widget	Comparable URLs without the widget
Not-indexed → indexed	68% (2,278 / 3,329)	41% (3,350 / 8,257)
Median days from publication to indexed	35	38
Indexed within 30 days of publication	42%	38%

The conversion gap is the headline. On speed, the honest picture: once a URL enters the widget, half are indexed within 3 days (median; 59% within a week) — and these are pages that had already been waiting for weeks. That figure uses a different clock (widget entry) and is deliberately not compared to the control group.

Bias note: the widget receives the most neglected URLs (never crawled, or not crawled the longest), i.e. the hardest cases — the comparison is stacked against it, not for it. Full methodology and a single-site deep dive: case study — a new site from 0 to 98.6% indexed in 5 months.

Architecture & data

Google Search Console ──(read-only OAuth)──► api.zinkwp.com ──(mirror)──► your wp-admin

• OAuth tokens encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM), EU hosting (OVH), TLS everywhere.
• The plugin stores results in a dedicated MySQL table (wp_indexfixer_urls) — no wp_options bloat, tested with thousands of URLs.
• Read-only by design: IndexFixer cannot change anything on your site or in your Search Console property.

FAQ

Do I need API keys or a Google Cloud project? No. Authorization is a two-click OAuth flow; all API plumbing lives on our servers.

What GSC permission level do I need? Owner or full user of the property. Google's URL Inspection API does not work for restricted users.

Does it slow my site down? No — all checks run on our servers, not yours.

Is there a URL limit? No. Note Google's own inspection cap (2,000/day per property): a 20,000-URL site takes ~10 days per full refresh cycle, which is exactly why widget URLs and fresh posts are prioritized.

Will the widget get every page indexed? No — and an honest tool should say so. See "What it can and cannot do" above.
