Google indexing checker

Is the page in Google, or only on your site?

Publishing does not put a page in Google. It has to be discovered, crawled, judged worth keeping, and only then indexed.

Paste the URL and we report what Google currently returns for it, with the limits of a public lookup stated plainly.

Why a page misses the Google index

Never discovered

Nothing links to the page and it sits outside your sitemap, so Google has no route to it.

Crawled, not kept

Google saw the page and decided it was too thin, too duplicated, or not worth a slot yet.

Blocked by you

A noindex tag, an X-Robots header or a robots.txt rule is quietly doing exactly what it says.

Google questions, answered

How fast does Google index a new page?+

Anywhere from hours to weeks. Established sites that publish often get picked up quickest; brand new domains wait longest.

Does submitting a URL force indexing?+

No. Submission is a request to look. Google still decides whether the page earns a place.

Why does Search Console disagree with this tool?+

Search Console reports Google's internal view of your verified property. We report the public result. They can lag behind each other.

My page vanished after being indexed. Why?+

Indexes are pruned. Quality changes, duplication, or a new noindex tag can all drop a page back out.

Run the rest of the set.

Bulk checks, noindex screening and submission live in the dashboard.
