🔍 What Is an Index Checker?
An index checker analyzes your page's HTML source code to identify elements that could prevent search engines from indexing your content. It scans for noindex directives, canonical tag issues, robots meta tags, and other technical SEO factors that control whether Google will include your page in search results.
Many indexing issues are invisible to the naked eye — a single misplaced noindex tag can silently remove an important page from Google. Our free tool parses your HTML and flags every potential blocker, so you can fix issues before they cost you organic traffic.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What does noindex mean?
A noindex meta tag tells search engines not to include a page in their search results. When Google encounters <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> on a page, it will crawl the page but won't show it in search results. This is useful for pages like thank-you pages, admin dashboards, or staging environments that shouldn't appear in Google.
What is a canonical tag?
A canonical tag (rel="canonical") tells search engines which URL is the preferred version of a page when duplicate or similar content exists at multiple URLs. For example, if the same product page is accessible via /products/shoes and /sale/shoes, the canonical tag prevents duplicate content issues by pointing both to one preferred URL.
Why is my page not indexed by Google?
Common reasons include: a noindex meta tag or X-Robots-Tag header, robots.txt blocking the page, the page returning a non-200 HTTP status code, thin or duplicate content, the page being too new (Google hasn't crawled it yet), or the page being orphaned with no internal links pointing to it. Use this tool to check for the most common indexing blockers.
What is the difference between noindex and nofollow?
Noindex tells search engines not to show the page in search results, but they can still follow links on the page. Nofollow tells search engines not to follow or pass authority through links on the page, but the page itself can still be indexed. You can combine both: "noindex, nofollow" blocks indexing AND link following.
How do I check if Google has indexed my page?
Search for "site:yourdomain.com/page-url" in Google. If the page appears, it's indexed. If not, it may be blocked, too new, or have quality issues. Google Search Console's URL Inspection tool gives the most accurate and detailed indexing status.
