Instant indexing allows you to instantly index pages when they are visited by your users. Instant indexing uses a Javascript snippet that runs when a page is loaded and sends a ping to our crawler instructing it to index the webpage.
To set up instant indexing on your website add the instant indexing snippet, including your Account and Collection ID, to the <head> section of your website.
Once installed, the ping-back will be fired on page load and new content will be added automatically.
<script type="text/javascript">
var _sj = _sj || [];
_sj.push(['project', 'ENTER YOUR ACCOUNT ID']);
_sj.push(['collection', 'ENTER YOUR COLLECTION ID']);
(function () {
var sj = document.createElement('script');
sj.type = 'text/javascript';
sj.async = true;
sj.src = '//cdn.sajari.com/js/sj.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(sj, s);
})();
</script> |
Pages are only updated when certain fields are updated (title, description, keywords, modifiedDate).
The pages must be visited (i.e. the page and the script are loaded) within 30 minutes of updating or being added for it to be indexed.
Behind the scenes we check every 15 minutes to see if a instant index ‘ping’ has occurred. If the conditions above have been met the request then enters the crawlers queue, so the actual indexing usually occurs within 1 hour of the original request.
