Comment (by fabricecanel):

 Thanks for the feedback @desrosh.

 Indeed, Site owners should not need to worry about IndexNow, just as they
 do not need to worry about sitemaps today. Technical SEO should be handled
 by the Content Management System, so that site owners can focus on
 creating high-quality content. For IndexNow, the system can generate the
 key for them, and they do not have to do it themselves. We have proposed a
 pull request https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/1712 that
 does this, and also provides an API to change the key on demand or
 periodically, but this can be done by the system, not necessarily by the
 site owner.

 Thank you for testing IndexNow. adding URLs that are relevant works indeed
 nicely; recrawling known URLs is something we are target to optimize early
 2024. Our Open-Source WordPress plugin's open is available here:
 https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/indexnow/

 Regarding adoption by Google and other major players, we plan making even
 the case that this IndexNow signal can really help all actors by sharing
 in 2024 data on crawl efficiency improvement we observe. Already IndexNow
 contributes to 12% of new URLs clicked at Bing.
