Check approximately how many pages of any domain are indexed by Google using the site: search operator. The tool opens the search in a new tab — the result count at the top is your answer.
The number of indexed pages tells you how much of your site Google has discovered, crawled, and added to its searchable index. Big gaps between sitemap size and index count signal crawl issues (robots.txt blocks, noindex tags, low-quality content, duplicate content). Google Search Console gives the most accurate count for sites you own; the site: operator gives an approximate count for any site.
Enter a domain. The tool builds the search query site:domain.com and opens Google search in a new tab. Look at the result count at the top of the page (e.g. 'About 1,234 results') — that's roughly how many pages Google has indexed.
Run it monthly on your own site to spot indexing problems, after a CMS migration, when troubleshooting traffic drops, when comparing your site's indexed footprint to competitors, and to verify that newly published sections are being discovered.
For sites you own, use Google Search Console → Coverage report for the precise indexed count and a breakdown of why pages are excluded (Discovered–not crawled, Excluded by noindex, Crawl anomaly, etc.). The site: operator count is approximate and can vary across queries — use it for orientation, not exact accounting.
Approximate. Google's site: count varies between queries and is rounded. Use Search Console for exact data.
Possible duplicates, parameter URLs, paginated archives, or auto-generated tag/category pages. Audit with site: queries and add canonicals or noindex where needed.
Possible causes: noindex on the whole site, robots.txt blocking everything, brand-new domain not yet crawled, or manual penalty. Check Search Console for warnings.
