Technical SEO

Indexability Checker

Test HTTP status, robots.txt access, meta robots, X-Robots-Tag, canonical signals, and content type for up to 25 URLs.

Public URLs are fetched securely with strict crawl and rate limits. Reports are not saved to your WordPress database.

Spot technical restrictions before you investigate an indexing problem.

Indexability Checker

Find the signals that can block indexing

A page can load in your browser and still send signals that prevent indexing. WebTrendSEO’s Indexability Checker brings those signals into one report.

Enter up to 25 public URLs to review their HTTP status, robots.txt access, meta robots directives, X-Robots-Tag headers, canonical signals, and content type. Redirects are followed so you can assess the final destination.

Use the findings to guide a technical review. An eligible result does not confirm that Google has indexed a page; check actual indexing separately in Search Console.

HOW IT WORKS

Check your URLs in three practical steps

Start with a short list of pages that should appear in search. Review the report, then confirm each proposed change against the page’s intended purpose.

Paste up to 25 public URLs, one per line
Select Check Indexability
Review HTTP status and final destinations
Check robots.txt and robots directives
Investigate canonical and content type conflicts
Verify changes and confirm indexing in Search Console
WHY USE THIS TOOL

See indexability issues in one report

Indexing problems often involve more than one setting. A redirect may lead to a blocked page, or a page may declare a canonical URL that conflicts with your intended destination.

This checker helps you compare those signals before making changes. It is useful after a migration, a template update, or an unexpected drop in indexed pages. Review intentional restrictions carefully: login pages, utility pages, and duplicate URLs may need to remain excluded.
