SEO Extension: Instantly Check Page Indexability
A powerful FREE browser extension that helps SEO professionals and webmasters quickly check if web pages are crawlable and indexable by search engines.
How It Works
Instantly understand a page's SEO status with our simple traffic light system integrated directly in your browser.
All Clear
Indicates no obvious crawling or indexing blocks were detected via robots.txt, meta tags, or HTTP headers.
Potential Issue
Suggests a potential issue or warning (e.g. canonicalisation, conflicting directives) that might affect SEO. Investigation recommended.
Blocked
Signalling that the page is likely blocked from crawling or indexing via robots.txt, meta tags, or HTTP headers. Requires attention.
Complete SEO Indexability Check
Robots.txt Checker
Instantly see if the current page is blocked by robots.txt directives, preventing search engines from crawling.
Canonical Tag Checker
View canonical URL information to ensure proper implementation and understand how search engines interpret your page.
Meta Robots Checker
Check meta robots directives to see if the page uses noindex, nofollow, or other indexing instructions that affect SEO.
HTTP Header Checker
View X-Robots-Tag HTTP headers that may be preventing indexing without visible indicators in the page's HTML.
Robots.txt Checker
Robots.txt files tell search engines which pages they're allowed to crawl. Sometimes pages are accidentally blocked, preventing them from appearing in search results.
- Instantly see if the current URL is blocked by robots.txt
- Prevent SEO issues by catching blocked pages before they impact your rankings
- Get clear "Allowed" or "Blocked" indicators with detailed explanations
- Verify robots.txt implementation across your entire website
Canonical Tag Checker
Canonical tags tell search engines which version of a page is the "master" copy, helping to prevent duplicate content issues that can hurt your SEO.
- See if canonical tags are properly implemented
- Identify pages that canonicalize to other URLs
- Prevent search engines from indexing the wrong version of your content
- Ensure link equity is properly consolidated
Meta Robots Checker
Meta robots tags provide specific instructions to search engines about how to handle a page. Incorrect implementation can completely hide your pages from search results.
- Detect noindex directives that prevent pages from appearing in search
- See nofollow directives that stop link equity from passing
- Identify other directives like noarchive or noimageindex
- Prevent accidental blocking of important pages
HTTP Header Checker
X-Robots-Tag HTTP headers can contain directives that aren't visible in the page's HTML. These hidden instructions can prevent indexing without any obvious indicators.
- Detect server-level indexing directives invisible in the HTML
- See all X-Robots-Tag headers returned by the server
- Find indexability issues that other tools miss
- Debug complex SEO issues caused by server configuration
