Pre-launch QA
Catch an unintended noindex, blocked path, or broken response before announcing a page.
Crawling and indexing tool
Indexability Checker
Find observable signals that can block or complicate indexing on one public page. A passing result means eligible based on checked evidence—not indexed, ranked, or guaranteed to appear.

Indexing diagnosis
Separate public eligibility evidence from the private indexing state shown in Search Console.
Template review
Check representative page types after changing robots or canonical logic.
What it checks
Use the result as evidence, not a score.
- Final HTTP response after bounded redirects
- Meta robots and X-Robots-Tag noindex directives
- Crawler-specific robots.txt access for the final path
- Declared canonical relationship and conflicting declarations
What it cannot check
- Whether Google or another system currently indexes the page
- The selected canonical or exclusion reason inside Search Console
- Site-wide duplication, content quality, demand, rankings, or crawl history
How it works
Input, inspect, improve, verify.
The tool processes what you enter, shows a plain-language result, and gives you a safer next step. Make the change on your website, deploy it, then test the live page again.

Pro tips
Small checks that prevent avoidable mistakes.
- Confirm the business intent before removing any noindex, canonical, or robots rule.
- Use Search Console’s URL inspection for Google’s current state on a verified property.
- Test the final redirected URL and its robots path together.
- Re-run representative templates after deploying a shared SEO control change.
Common issues and solutions
What to review when the result looks wrong.
The page is eligible but not indexed
Eligibility is only one layer. Review Search Console, duplication, discovery, rendering, content value, and time.
Noindex is detected unexpectedly
Inspect response headers, the final HTML, CMS settings, and environment-specific templates before changing it.
Robots allows the page but noindex remains
Crawling and indexing controls are separate. A crawler may retrieve a page that still declares noindex.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers before you make a change.
Does eligible mean indexed?
No. It means the tool did not find a checked public blocker. Search Console is needed for Google’s current indexing evidence.
Can robots.txt remove a page from search?
Robots.txt controls crawling, not guaranteed removal. Use the appropriate indexing or removal method for the real goal.
Should every page self-canonicalize?
Often, but not universally. Canonical intent depends on duplication, syndication, and URL strategy.
