I stumbled on a discussion on Twitter and saw you can ask Google to index a specific page that you just wrote, so it's indexed (added to the Google results) faster.

I think this is only useful for new websites, so as I'm working on a new website I figured I'd test it.

Assuming you have set up your domain on Google Search Console (do it if not) go on **URL inspection** and enter the page you want to be indexed at the top, press enter to see this appear:

Click "Request indexing", wait a few seconds... done!
