Paste a page's URL. We'll check its status code, meta robots, robots.txt and canonical tag, and tell you whether it can be indexed.
Find out in one go whether search engines can index a page: its status code, robots meta tags, canonical URL and robots.txt rules, with a clear verdict.
01
Status code
Whether the page returns 200, a redirect or an error.
02
Robots meta and headers
noindex or nofollow in meta tags or the X-Robots-Tag header.
03
Canonical
Whether the page points to itself or to another URL.
04
robots.txt
Whether crawling is allowed for the page's path.
- 1
Enter a URL
A page that isn't showing in search, or one you've just published.
- 2
Get the verdict
We check all four signals and explain the result.
- 3
Fix the blocker
Remove a stray noindex, fix the canonical or update robots.txt.
Indexable
Returns 200, no noindex, a self-referencing canonical and crawling allowed.
Canonical elsewhere
The page points search engines to another URL, which will usually be indexed instead.
Blocked
A noindex, error status or robots.txt block keeps the page out of results.
Some of the most common SEO disasters are tiny: a noindex tag left over from staging, a canonical pointing to the wrong page, or a robots.txt rule blocking a whole folder. This checker finds them in seconds.
About the indexability checker.
It may be blocked by noindex, robots.txt or a wrong canonical, or simply not discovered or not judged useful yet. This checker rules out the technical blockers first.
