Indexability Checker

Check whether a page looks indexable from pasted HTML and headers. Detect noindex, nofollow, robots meta tags, X-Robots-Tag, canonical conflicts, meta refresh, and indexing blockers.

Paste page source, HTTP response headers, or both. The checker runs locally in your browser.

Optional. Used to compare the page URL with the canonical URL.

Options

This tool checks pasted source and headers. It does not crawl live URLs or verify robots.txt access.

Output

Indexability check output will appear here.
This checker uses pasted HTML and headers only. A real search engine may also consider robots.txt, redirects, duplicate content, quality signals, internal links, and canonical selection.

Checking Whether a Page Looks Indexable

A page can be crawlable but still not indexable if it contains noindex directives, conflicting canonical tags, X-Robots-Tag headers, soft redirect signals, or other indexing blockers.

This Indexability Checker helps you inspect pasted page source and response headers before publishing, debugging Search Console coverage issues, or reviewing technical SEO changes.

Using the Indexability Checker

  1. Paste HTML source, HTTP response headers, or both.
  2. Optionally enter the page URL to compare it with the canonical tag.
  3. Choose the checking style and output format.
  4. Review noindex, nofollow, canonical, meta refresh, title, description, and X-Robots-Tag signals.
  5. Copy the summary, report, JSON, Markdown, or CSV output.

Common Indexability Blockers

  • noindex in a robots meta tag or X-Robots-Tag header.
  • Canonical tags pointing to a different URL unexpectedly.
  • Meta refresh redirects that behave like soft redirects.
  • Missing or weak title and description signals.
  • Nofollow directives that change how links are handled.
  • Conflicting robots directives between HTML and HTTP headers.

Example Indexable Signals

<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/page" />

Indexability Is Not the Same as Ranking

An indexable page is only eligible to appear in search results. Ranking still depends on content quality, search intent, internal links, external signals, page experience, and search engine evaluation.

Use this tool to remove technical blockers first, then review content quality and internal linking separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an Indexability Checker do?

It checks pasted HTML and headers for signals that may allow, block, or complicate search engine indexing.

Does this crawl a live URL?

No. It analyzes the HTML and headers you paste into the tool.

What is the difference between crawlable and indexable?

Crawlable means a search engine can access the page. Indexable means the page is allowed and suitable to be stored in the search index.

Can a page with a canonical tag still be indexed?

Yes, but if the canonical points elsewhere, search engines may choose the canonical target instead of the current URL.

Is anything uploaded when I check indexability?

No. The check runs directly in your browser.
