What does the indexability checker test?

It checks robots.txt, meta robots, X-Robots-Tag headers, canonical tags, sitemap inclusion, and HTTP status codes to estimate whether Google can index the page.

Why is a page not indexable?

Common causes include: robots.txt disallow, meta robots noindex, canonical pointing elsewhere, HTTP errors (4xx/5xx), or X-Robots-Tag set to noindex.

How is this different from Google Search Console URL Inspection?

Search Console shows Google’s actual index status. This tool is a predictive technical check to help you diagnose issues quickly. Use both together.
