Google index checker

See your page the way Googlebot does — and what stops it from indexing.

How Googlebot decides

Googlebot reads /robots.txt first. If it's allowed in, it fetches the page, follows redirects, then reads the X-Robots-Tag header, the robots meta tag and the canonical. Pages that need JavaScript go into a render queue and are processed later. One "no" anywhere and the page stays out.

HTTP status & redirects — 4xx/5xx pages get dropped; long chains waste crawl budget.
robots.txt — the exact rule that blocks Googlebot, Bingbot and 7 AI crawlers.
noindex — in the robots meta tag and the X-Robots-Tag header.
Canonical — whether Google is told to index a different URL.
JavaScript rendering — how much of the page only exists after JS runs.
Sitemap, domain & SSL — missing URLs and expiring renewals.

FAQ

Questions

Do you follow Google's robots.txt rules?+

Yes: most specific user-agent group, longest matching rule, Allow wins ties, * and $ wildcards, and a 5xx robots.txt means block-all.

Can I see if a URL is already in Google?+

Use URL Inspection in Search Console. IndexMon monitoring connects to it and alerts you when a page drops out.
