X-Robots-Tag Checker – Analyse HTTP-level indexing directives | SEOcheck.hu
X‑Robots‑Tag Checker – see which HTTP headers block indexing
Use this X-Robots-Tag Checker whenever you want to understand how search engines are allowed to index a page at HTTP header level. Paste the URL and the tool will request the response, scan every X-Robots-Tag header and show which directives are active for all user agents or for specific bots, so you can see immediately if a page is being blocked from indexing or crawling outside the HTML code.
This is especially valuable after server migrations, CDN changes or security tweaks, where a single header misconfiguration can silently deindex important landing pages. Run the check on your key money pages and templates, fix wrong noindex or nofollow rules in your server configuration, then move up to the SEO Expert plan to combine HTTP header checks with full on-page audits and continuous monitoring in SEOcheck.hu.
Reserve X-Robots-Tag for technical or non-HTML assets
X-Robots-Tag is ideal when you need to control indexing of PDFs, images or other non-HTML resources at server level. For standard HTML pages, combine it carefully with meta robots to avoid conflicting signals.
Avoid accidental global noindex rules
A single misconfigured header on the main template or at server level can quickly push many important pages out of the index. Always test new rules on a few URLs first and make sure you do not apply noindex to entire sections by mistake.
Document and review header rules after infrastructure changes
After migrations, proxy/CDN changes or security updates, regularly review your X-Robots-Tag headers and compare them with your intended indexing strategy. This prevents sudden drops in organic traffic caused by technical misconfiguration.
