Redirect, Canonical & Indexability Checker

Run the technical checks that decide whether a page gets indexed. Trace the full redirect chain, confirm HTTPS, read the canonical tag, and catch a stray noindex — the silent issues that quietly keep pages out of Google.

We follow every redirect, then read the final page's canonical tag and robots directives.

Frequently asked

Why do redirect chains matter?

Each extra redirect hop wastes crawl budget, slows the page, and leaks a little link equity. One hop (e.g. http→https) is fine; two or more should be collapsed to a single 301 to the final URL.

What is a canonical tag and why check it?

The rel=canonical tag tells Google which URL is the 'main' version of a page. A missing canonical, or one pointing to the wrong URL, splits your ranking signals across duplicates. This tool shows whether the canonical is self-referencing or points elsewhere.

What does 'indexability' check?

It reads the page's robots meta tag and the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header. A stray 'noindex' is one of the most common reasons a page silently disappears from Google — this catches it in seconds.

Is it free?

Yes, no signup. Check any public URL; results come straight from the live page's response headers and HTML.
