About Us

About NoIndex Checker

NoIndex Checker is a fast, lightweight tool that tells you—plainly—whether a page can be indexed by Google and other search engines. We scan the core technical signals (HTTP status, redirects, robots.txt, meta robots, X-Robots-Tag headers, and canonicals) and explain what’s blocking indexability, if anything.

Our Mission

Help site owners and marketers catch costly noindex and robots.txt mistakes before they hurt visibility, traffic, and revenue. Indexability is step one of SEO—if a page can’t be indexed, nothing else matters.

What NoIndex Checker Does

  • Verifies crawl & index signals: checks HTTP status (200/301/404/etc.), follows redirects, and reports the final URL analyzed.
  • Reads robots rules: fetches /robots.txt to confirm whether the root path is allowed for crawling.
  • Inspects robots directives: detects noindex, nofollow, and related directives in both meta robots tags and X-Robots-Tag HTTP headers.
  • Finds canonical hints: reports the page’s <link rel="canonical"> and flags when it’s missing or looks mismatched.
  • Plain-language summary: clear pass / warn / fail badges with brief explanations anyone can understand.

Why Indexability Matters

  • No indexability = no rankings. Even perfect content can’t rank if it’s blocked.
  • Small misconfigurations, big impact. A stray noindex, a site-wide Disallow, or a broken redirect can remove entire sections from the index.
  • Faster debugging. See exactly which layer is at fault—server header, page tag, or robots.txt.

Built by the RankCheck Pro Team

NoIndex Checker is created by the team behind RankCheck Pro, a keyword and SEO reporting platform. Use NoIndex Checker for quick technical checks—and when you’re ready, view the full keyword report to discover opportunities and measure performance.

Who it’s for

  • Site owners & marketers who want quick sanity checks before publishing or during migrations.
  • Agencies & consultants who need a simple way to demonstrate indexability issues to clients.
  • Developers who want a reproducible checklist for staging and release pipelines.

How it Works

  1. We request your page, following redirects to the final URL.
  2. We read the page’s HTTP headers and HTML for index signals and the canonical.
  3. We fetch /robots.txt and determine if the root path is allowed.
  4. You get a short, actionable report with clear pass / warning / fail badges.

Everything runs read-only and respects timeouts—lightweight by design.

Privacy & Fair Use

  • We only access publicly available URLs—no logins required.
  • We respect rate limits and avoid heavy crawling.
  • We don’t modify your site or store sensitive data.

FAQs About Site Indexing

What does “noindex” mean?

It’s a directive that tells search engines not to include a page in their index.

What’s the difference between Disallow in robots.txt and noindex?

Disallow blocks crawling; noindex prevents indexing. A page can be disallowed yet still indexed if it’s linked and understood—use noindex to be sure.

Why is my page still not indexable after I removed noindex?

Caches, conflicting headers, or a canonical pointing elsewhere can delay indexation. Make sure all layers agree and give search engines time to recrawl.
