Google-focused checks
Use the Google Index Checker when a specific URL is missing from Google results
This page focuses on the signals that most often explain why a URL does not appear in Google. It is useful after publishing a new article, changing canonical tags, moving URLs, or seeing "Discovered - currently not indexed" in Search Console.
Because Google does not provide a public index-status API, the checker does not claim certainty. Instead, it looks for public signals and blockers that usually decide whether Googlebot can crawl, render, canonicalize, and consider the URL for indexing.
Recommended workflow
Check the URL here first, then inspect the same URL in Google Search Console. If this page reports crawlable, indexable, self-canonical signals, use GSC to request indexing and wait for Google to refresh the URL state.
What this check reviews
- Whether the URL has a public index signal.
- Whether Googlebot-like crawling would be blocked by robots.txt.
- Whether meta robots or X-Robots-Tag says noindex.
- Whether the canonical points to the submitted URL or another page.
Common Google indexing issues
- The page is reachable but canonicalized to another URL.
- A CMS, theme, or SEO plugin added noindex after launch.
- The URL is in the sitemap but internally orphaned.
- The page is thin or too similar to other URLs, so Google delays indexing.
