About this free noindex meta checker

A noindex meta tag tells search engines not to index a page. Staging copies and accidental noindex on production pages are common disaster scenarios.

Detect noindex (and related robots meta) before you wonder why a URL never appears in Search Console.

What it checks

  • meta name=robots for noindex directives
  • Related blocking directives in robots meta

Why it matters for SEO

  • Instant explanation for "why is this page not indexed?"
  • Protects launches when copying settings from staging

How to use this tool

  1. Check any URL that should rank but does not.
  2. Remove noindex in CMS or SEO plugin when unintended.
  3. Use noindex intentionally on thank-you, admin, and thin utility pages.

Common issues we help you catch

  • Site-wide noindex left on after launch
  • SEO plugin "discourage search engines" still enabled
  • noindex on paginated or facet URLs you wanted indexed
