Indexability Checker

Check whether a URL has signals that block indexing: status, noindex, X-Robots-Tag, robots.txt and canonical.

What this tool does

Collects every observable signal that can keep a page out of Google and gives one verdict plus the reasons.

Who should use it

SEOs diagnosing pages missing from search.

How it works

The URL is fetched, then HTTP status, X-Robots-Tag, meta robots, robots.txt access for Googlebot and the canonical link are evaluated.

How to use it

  1. Enter the full address of the page or site, including https://.
  2. Press the run button. The check makes live requests from our server and can take up to about 30 seconds.
  3. Read the findings first, then open the tables for detail. Each finding has a severity and a suggested fix.
  4. Copy or download the results if the tool offers it, fix the issues on your site and run the check again to confirm.

Practical example

A noindex meta tag gives the verdict "Not indexable".

Understanding the results

"No blocking signals" is not proof of indexing.

Limitations

This is a live check of the URL, made from our server; results can differ from what search engines or visitors see from other locations. It cannot see Google's index; use Search Console URL Inspection to confirm.

Accuracy and report transparency

Findings come from a real HTTP request made by our server. The result panel shows the checked URL, the UTC time of the check and the data source, and separates measured findings from limitations. We do not show random or sample metrics.

Privacy

The URL you enter is used only to make the request and is not stored in our database. Results may be cached for about ten minutes to limit repeat requests, and the checker blocks local and private network addresses. See the Privacy Policy.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my page not indexed if nothing blocks it?

Google may have chosen not to index it for quality or duplication reasons; check Search Console.

Is my data sent to your server?

The URL you enter is sent to our server so it can request that page. We do not store the page content or your results. Only an anonymous usage counter is kept, and short-lived cached results may be held for about ten minutes to reduce repeat requests.

How accurate are the results?

Findings are verified against the live HTTP response our server received at the time shown. They can differ from what Google or your visitors see, because of location, caching, JavaScript rendering or bot blocking.

Is this tool really free?

Yes. There is no account, limit or paid plan. The site is supported by advertising, which is disclosed on our Advertising Disclosure page.
