About Noindex Checker

The Noindex Checker identifies if a webpage has the noindex directive, which prevents search engines from indexing the page in search results. Noindex can be set via `<meta name="robots" content="noindex">` tags in the HTML or through the `X-Robots-Tag` HTTP header. This tool checks both locations and alerts you if noindex is enabled, helping you avoid accidentally blocking important pages from search engines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Noindex tells search engines not to include a page in their search results. The page can still be crawled and links can still pass PageRank, but it won't appear in search.
Use noindex for admin pages, login screens, thank-you pages, duplicate content, thin pages, or staging environments. Never use it on pages you want to rank in search results.
Both work the same way. Meta robots tags are in the HTML, while X-Robots-Tag is an HTTP header. Headers are useful for non-HTML files like PDFs.
