AI Powered by Claude
The DadsFam SEO Pro add-on can connect to the Anthropic Claude API for its AI features. Your API key is stored server-side and is never exposed to the browser.
External services
This plugin connects to third-party services. Nothing is sent anywhere until you switch the relevant feature on, and no personal data is transmitted by the free plugin.
IndexNow (instant indexing)
When “Instant Indexing” is enabled, the plugin tells participating search engines that a URL has been published or updated, so they can recrawl it sooner. It sends the public URL of the post, your site’s IndexNow key, and the public location of that key file. It sends no personal data and no post content.
This happens when you publish, update or delete a post with auto-submit enabled, and when you use the manual bulk-submit button. It is off until you generate an IndexNow key on the Indexing screen.
The requests go to:
- api.indexnow.org – the shared IndexNow endpoint, which distributes the notification to participating engines including Bing, Yandex, Seznam and Naver. Terms: https://www.indexnow.org/terms – Privacy: https://www.indexnow.org/faq
- www.bing.com/indexnow – Microsoft Bing’s own IndexNow endpoint, pinged directly as a fallback. Terms: https://www.microsoft.com/servicesagreement – Privacy: https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement
Your own site
The Health Check screen requests pages on your own site and reads the HTML that comes back, so it can see what a search engine actually receives rather than trusting the settings. These requests go to your own domain only, and are made only while you are on that screen or running wp dfseo doctor.
The DadsFam SEO Pro add-on is a separate plugin and discloses its own services (Google Search Console, Google Indexing API and the Anthropic Claude API) in its own readme.
