Free Indexability Checker: Bulk Test Noindex, Robots.txt and Canonicals Online

An indexability checker tests whether anything technical stops a search engine from indexing a page. It looks at the status code, redirects, noindex tags and headers, robots.txt rules and the canonical tag. If all of those allow indexing, the page is indexable. Whether Google actually indexes it is a separate decision.

No. It checks for blockers, not live index status. It does not query Google. For that, use URL Inspection in Search Console, which shows what Google decided. Run this checker first so you know nothing technical is in the way before you ask Google to look again.

Yes. robots.txt stops crawling, not indexing. If other sites link to a blocked URL, Google may index it without a snippet, because it could never read the page. To keep a page out of results, allow crawling and add a noindex tag. The checker flags this exact conflict.

Noindex tells search engines not to show a page in results. robots.txt tells crawlers not to fetch it. Use noindex for thank you pages and thin tag pages. Use robots.txt to save crawling on endless filter URLs. Never use both on the same page, or Google cannot see the noindex.

You will not see it in the page source, because the server sends it with the response. Browser developer tools show it under the network tab. This checker reads response headers for every URL, so a hidden noindex header appears right next to the meta tag result.

Up to 100 URLs per run. Paste them one per line or enter a sitemap address, and the tool reads the first 100 URLs from it. For bigger sites, split your sitemap by section, like posts and pages, and check each one. You can run the tool up to 60 times a day.

Passing means nothing technical blocks it. Google may still skip a page it sees as thin, duplicate or low priority, which Search Console shows as crawled, currently not indexed. Improve the content, add internal links from strong pages, and request indexing again. Give it a few weeks.

It follows Google's documented matching rules. The most specific rule wins, Allow beats Disallow on a tie, and wildcards work. You can test as Googlebot, Bingbot, GPTBot or any user agent. It cannot see firewall rules that block bots by IP, so a page can pass here and still fail.

Usually. Google treats the canonical as a strong hint. If your page points its canonical elsewhere, Google will most likely index the other URL and drop yours. If you want this exact page in results, set its canonical to itself and list that same URL in your sitemap.

Yes. It works on any public URL in any country, whatever platform built it. WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace and custom sites all return the same signals. The tool only reads public responses, so you never connect an account or install a plugin.
