📑 Index Pages Checker

Check approximately how many pages of any domain Google has indexed. The tool opens a site: search in a new tab — the result count at the top is your answer.

What is the index pages checker?

The number of indexed pages is a foundational SEO health metric. If your sitemap lists 500 URLs but Google has only indexed 50, something is preventing crawl or indexation: noindex tags, robots.txt blocks, low-quality thin content, duplicate content, or canonical tags pointing elsewhere. Diagnosing the gap is the first step in any technical SEO audit.

How does this index pages checker work?

Enter a domain. The tool builds the search query site:domain.com and opens Google in a new tab. The estimated result count at the top of the page is approximately how many pages Google has indexed. For your own site, Google Search Console gives the precise figure.

When should you use this tool?

Run it monthly on your own site, after major migrations or redesigns, when troubleshooting traffic drops, when comparing your indexed footprint to competitors, and when investigating why specific sections of your site aren't appearing in search.

Tips & best practices

For owned sites use Google Search Console → Coverage report — it shows precise indexed counts and explains why pages are excluded. The site: count is approximate. If counts are way off your sitemap, audit for: noindex tags, canonical pointing elsewhere, robots.txt blocks, duplicate content, parameter URL bloat, paginated archives.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the count vary between queries?

Google's site: count is approximate and rounded; it varies slightly each time you run it.

My count is much smaller than my sitemap — what now?

Check Search Console Coverage. Common culprits: noindex tags, robots.txt, low-quality content excluded from index.

How quickly does Google index new pages?

Anywhere from minutes (high-authority sites with sitemaps + IndexNow) to weeks (new low-authority sites). Use Search Console URL Inspection to request indexing.
