Indexability Checker

Check the technical signals that can prevent a public webpage from being indexed: HTTP status, robots.txt, noindex directives, X-Robots-Tag and canonical URL.

Privacy. The submitted URL and page contents are not stored. Only anonymous aggregate usage counters are retained.

Important distinction“Indexable” means obvious technical blocking signals were not found. It does not guarantee that Google or another search engine will index the page or choose it as canonical.

Why is my page not indexed?

Before looking for complicated explanations, check the fundamentals. A page usually needs a useful final HTTP response, to be crawlable, and to avoid a noindex instruction. Redirects, canonical tags and duplicate versions can also influence which URL a search engine treats as the representative page.

What this indexability checker inspects

Crawling and response

Final HTTP status, redirect destination and robots.txt rules.

Indexing directives

Meta robots and X-Robots-Tag headers, including noindex signals.

Canonical URL

Whether the page declares another URL as canonical or references itself.

Basic page signals

Title, meta description and first H1 to help diagnose what the server actually returned.

Robots.txt vs noindex

These controls solve different problems. Robots.txt primarily controls crawling. A noindex directive tells a search engine not to index a page when the directive can be seen. Blocking a URL from crawling can therefore make diagnosis less intuitive because the crawler may not retrieve the page-level directive.

Canonical does not mean “not indexable”

A canonical pointing elsewhere is a preference signal that another URL should represent substantially similar content. Search engines can choose a different canonical based on their own signals. Treat canonicalization separately from a hard noindex directive.
