Indexability Monitor
My Indexability Monitor runs a live crawl diagnostic on any URL and checks the three signals that determine whether a page can be indexed by search engines. It checks the HTTP response code, the canonical tag declaration, and any robots directives in the page headers or meta tags. Run a spot check on any page you are concerned about, or use it as part of your regular technical audit to catch indexation blocks before they drop your visibility.
HTTP Status Code This monitors the HTTP response status code returned by the server to confirm if the page is accessible.
--
Canonical Validity This audits canonical link tag settings to verify that search engine crawlers index the correct URL path.
--
Robots Directives This inspects robots meta tags and response headers to confirm that the page allows indexing.

Frequently Asked Questions
It makes a live HTTP request to your URL and analyses the response. It checks three things: the HTTP status code (to confirm the page is returning a 200 OK rather than an error or redirect), the canonical tag (to confirm it is pointing to the correct URL), and any robots directives in the meta tags or HTTP headers that might prevent indexation.
It makes a live HTTP request to your URL and checks the response code, canonical tag, and any robots meta or header directives that may be blocking indexation.
Start with your highest-value organic landing pages, main category templates, and any pages you have recently published or migrated. These are the pages where an accidental noindex tag or a mispointed canonical will cause the most damage, and where mistakes are most likely to go unnoticed in a large CMS.
A noindex directive in a meta robots tag or x-robots-tag header tells search engines to drop the page from their index entirely. A canonical tag pointing to the wrong URL consolidates your ranking signals onto a different page. Either issue can cause a page to disappear from search results within days of being deployed.
