This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
Checks meta robots, X-Robots-Tag, canonical and robots.txt in one call and returns whether a URL can be indexed by Google. If not, it names the declared signal that blocks it. Every finding has a stable code, the evidence it was based on and a Google Search Central link. GET /v1/check fetches live; POST /v1/validate works offline on drafts. It reads declared signals only and does not query Google's index.
Hi, I built this for site-audit tools, publishing pipelines and CI checks that need a straight answer to 'can this URL be indexed, and if not, why?'. It follows up to 5 redirects, reads the page and the origin's robots.txt, and follows a canonical one hop. It reports indexable true, false or null (when a 401/403/429/5xx or an unreadable robots.txt makes it undecidable). Limits are stated up front: it sees declared signals only, does not query Google's index, does not render JavaScript and does not guarantee indexing. Feedback welcome.
