Comment (by fabricecanel):

 I wish you happy Holidays and hope that WordPress Core will join the
 growing list of top websites, CMS, CDN, web hosting companies and search
 engines using already or planning to adopt IndexNow in 2024. By crawling
 more effectively, Search Engines can significantly reduce at scale the
 costs associated with crawling websites and reduce the environmental
 impact.

 @dd32 : I heard in a recent conversation that you may have some concerns
 about the IndexNow key. Let me share some thoughts. First the IndexNow key
 is required to verify that the site submitted is owning the URLs to limit
 noise. Second, the IndexNow key can be unique per website and change quite
 often over time limiting risks of be stollen. Third the IndexNow can be
 secure, first by limiting its visibility to the IndexNow API crawler you
 API-call (we will document best practices in the protocol) as we are
 always listening and considering extending the standard to support private
 key (we do support that already to share data between search engines).
