Page Indexability Checker

Why a page is not getting into Google.

We check everything that can keep a page out of search: robots.txt rules for Googlebot, the robots meta tag, the X-Robots-Tag header, the status code, the redirect chain and the canonical.

FAQ

How is this different from the meta tag checker?
The “Meta tags and Open Graph” tool shows what is written in the page tags. This one answers a different question: will the page enter search at all. Here we additionally download robots.txt and apply its rules to your exact URL the way Googlebot does, read the X-Robots-Tag header that is invisible in the page source, and check the redirect chain.
The page is open but missing from Google. Why?
Being indexable and being indexed are different things. If nothing blocks it, the usual causes are: the page is new and the crawler has not reached it; no internal link points to it, so Google does not know it exists; the content is too thin or nearly duplicates another page — Search Console then reports “Crawled — currently not indexed”. Submit the URL through the inspection tool and add links to it from other pages.
What if the canonical points to a different URL?
It means you have told Google: “index that page, not this one”. Sometimes that is intended — for filter or UTM-tagged pages, for example. But if the canonical is there by mistake, the page will never appear in results no matter how many links point to it. The classic breakage after a botched SEO plugin setup is every page canonicalising to the homepage.
