Important Notes
Understand Noindex and Nofollow Correctly
Indexing and link-following directives serve different purposes and should be reviewed together.
Noindex
Requests that search engines exclude the page from their searchable index.
Nofollow
Advises search engines not to follow links found on the page.
Conflicting rules
Explicit index and noindex directives appearing together should be corrected.
Common Questions
Noindex Tag Checker FAQs
Quick answers about robots directives, headers and page fetching.
What does a noindex tag do?
A noindex directive tells search engines not to include the page in their searchable index.
What is the difference between noindex and nofollow?
Noindex controls page indexing, while nofollow advises search engines not to follow links from the page.
Can this tool analyze X-Robots-Tag?
Yes. Paste the raw header value into the optional X-Robots-Tag field.
Does the URL field fetch the live page?
No. It is used for context and canonical comparison only. Paste the HTML and response header manually.
Does a missing robots meta tag mean noindex?
No. In normal circumstances, a missing robots meta tag generally allows the default index and follow behavior.
