Pre-Launch SEO Audit — Public URL Expectations
Does your public page match what you intend now?
Compare noindex evidence and optional canonical expectations for up to 5 public pages. Choose whether noindex is intended for this check; a preview and a page intended for search need different interpretations.
Your expectation report
“Matches” means agreement with your stated expectation. It does not establish privacy, indexability, Google processing, or launch readiness. Unknown evidence remains unknown.

Methodology and limitations
- Only supplied public pages start GET traces. All start from one exact origin. Redirects to another origin, including HTTP to HTTPS or a www host, stop; submit the final public content URL instead.
- Collection uses bounded request, time and byte budgets and the audit crawler’s robots rules. Googlebot robots access is unassessed. Blocks, errors, unsupported responses and limits may leave comparisons unknown.
- Positive general or Googlebot noindex evidence can be observed in a partial response. Absence is established only for a complete supported HTTP 200 HTML response. Noindex observations are not a full directive interpretation; indexifembedded may affect embedded content.
- Canonical comparison requires complete evidence and one unique usable declaration target. Invalid, conflicting or incomplete declarations leave the comparison unknown. Canonical targets are never fetched; declared canonicals do not prove Google’s selected canonical.
- A public preview that matches an intended noindex still needs a review before launching pages intended for search. Noindex does not keep a public page private.
- No discovery, retries through another identity, settings changes, private account access, historical baseline or background monitoring is performed.
Review the state you intend now
A public preview may intentionally declare noindex, while a page being prepared for search may not. Choose your intended state before checking. This tool compares observed declarations with that expectation and keeps blocked or incomplete evidence unknown.
Supply final public content URLs on one exact origin. Optional canonical URLs describe the declarations you expect in the response now; they are not fetched and do not authorize a redirect to another origin. Private staging, authenticated pages, query/action URLs and resource files are outside this public tool.
A bounded check, not a launch certificate
The report includes reached-page status, initial-HTML title, description, H1, canonical and noindex evidence. It does not measure full-site coverage, Googlebot access, Google indexing, privacy, rendered behavior or business readiness. Noindex is not a password or access restriction. The checker does not change your settings or launch your site.
For old-to-new URL mappings, use the SEO Migration Audit. For broader public page sampling, use the Website SEO Analyzer. Google explains the access requirements for observing noindex in its noindex guidance.
Questions about public launch checks
Does a matching result mean my site is ready to launch?
No. A match means one observed signal agrees with your supplied current expectation. This bounded check does not certify launch readiness, Google indexing, privacy, rendered behavior or full-site coverage.
Should a public preview always remove noindex?
No. Choose the expectation intended now. A preview may intentionally use noindex. Review that restriction before launching pages intended for search, but do not remove it merely because this report observes it. Noindex is not access control.
Can the tool check private staging or bypass robots?
No. Only explicitly public HTTP(S) content URLs are eligible. Authentication, private networks and robots restrictions are not bypassed. Robots permission here is evaluated for the audit crawler, not Googlebot.
What does the optional expected canonical mean?
It is the canonical you expect in the fetched response now. It can differ from the preview URL. It is never fetched and does not authorize redirects to another origin. A future production URL is not automatically the correct current canonical; declared canonicals are not proof of Google’s choice.
Does it need APIs or change website settings?
No paid API is required. This module does not launch a site, edit settings, save reports, render JavaScript or run background checks. Shared CAPTCHA and usage limits apply. Requested websites and ordinary infrastructure may log requests.
