Noindex Checker Tool
Check if your webpage can be found on Google and other search engines. This tool looks for special instructions that might be hiding your page from search results, helping you make sure important pages can be discovered by visitors.
What Does “Noindex” Mean?
Think of “noindex” like a “Do Not Enter” sign for search engines. When a webpage has this instruction, it tells Google, Bing, and other search engines: “Please don’t show this page in your search results.”
Sometimes this is helpful—you might not want certain pages like login screens or thank you pages showing up on Google. But if your main pages accidentally have this instruction, people won’t be able to find your website when they search online.

What This Tool Checks
When you enter a webpage address, our tool examines several important things:

Common Reasons Pages Get Hidden
Your page might be blocked from search results for several reasons:
- On purpose: Someone added the noindex instruction for pages like admin areas or duplicate content
- WordPress plugins: SEO tools like Yoast or RankMath might have noindex turned on
- Test websites: Development or staging sites usually block search engines while you’re building
- Server settings: Your website’s hosting settings might have noindex rules

Frequently Asked Questions
What is noindex and why does it matter?
Noindex is a special instruction that tells search engines like Google not to show a webpage in search results. It matters because if your important pages have noindex, people won't find your website when they search online. This tool helps you check if your pages can be discovered by visitors.
How does the Noindex Checker work?
Our tool visits your webpage just like Google does. It reads both the server instructions (X-Robots-Tag headers) and the webpage code (meta robots tags) to see if there's any noindex instruction. Then it gives you a clear answer about whether search engines can show your page.
What's the difference between X-Robots-Tag and meta robots tag?
Think of them as two different ways to give the same instruction. X-Robots-Tag is like a message sent from your web server before the page loads, while meta robots tag is written directly in your webpage's HTML code. Both tell search engines whether to show your page or not.
How long does it take Google to see noindex changes?
When you add or remove noindex, Google needs to visit your page again to notice the change. This usually takes a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on how often Google checks your website. Popular pages get checked more frequently.
Should I use noindex for duplicate content?
Not usually. For duplicate content, it's better to use something called a "canonical tag" instead. This tells Google which version of the page you prefer, while still letting the page appear in searches. Noindex completely removes the page from search results, which might not be what you want.
What does HTTP status code mean in the results?
The HTTP status code tells you how your page responded. Code 200 means everything is working fine. Code 404 means the page wasn't found. Code 301 means the page moved to a new address. These codes help you understand if there are other problems besides noindex.
