Is your page allowed to be indexed?

The fastest way to find an accidental noindex. Checks the meta robots tag and the X-Robots-Tag header on your live page, plus what robots.txt allows.

What this checks

This reads the meta robots tag in the HTML and the X-Robots-Tag header in the response, and reports whether either one carries noindex or nofollow. Both are checked because they are set in completely different places, one in a template and one in server or CDN configuration, and a page can easily carry a directive that nobody working on the template can see. It also confirms the page actually responded with a usable status code, since a noindex on a page that returns a server error is the smaller of two problems.

Why it matters

noindex is the most effective way to remove a page from search, which makes an accidental one the most expensive single mistake in technical SEO. It is also the hardest to notice: the page loads, looks right, and behaves normally for every human who visits it. The classic cause is a staging site launched with its blocking configuration intact, and the classic symptom is traffic that never arrives for reasons nobody can explain.

How to read a bad result

noindex present is scored as a straight failure with no partial credit, because the consequence has no gradient. Check whether it came from the meta tag or the header before changing anything, since fixing the wrong one leaves the page blocked and looking fixed. Once removed, the page has to be recrawled before it returns, so request indexing in Search Console rather than waiting.

Questions people ask

Why is my page not in Google?

In order of likelihood: it carries a noindex, robots.txt blocks the crawl, it is too new to have been crawled, or the content is duplicated elsewhere and Google chose the other URL. This tool settles the first two immediately.

What is the difference between noindex and Disallow?

noindex says do not show this page in results and requires the crawler to read the page to see it. Disallow says do not fetch this page at all. Combining them cancels the noindex, because the crawler never reads the instruction.

How long does removing a noindex take?

As long as it takes for the page to be recrawled, which is days for an established site and can be weeks for a new one. Requesting indexing through Search Console for the important URLs shortens it considerably.
