Memento: Free Indexabilty Checker
Is Google actually seeing this page?
Why is MEMENTO important?
- A page can look perfect and still be invisible.
- A noindex tag in the wrong place.
- A canonical pointing somewhere else
Any of these tells Google to look away. MEMENTO checks in one click. No subscription. No sign-up. No crawl required
What MEMENTO Checks
- Is the page secure or not.
- Meta robots: what directive is set and whether noindex is present.
- Googlebot meta tag: These are checked separately because people set one and forget the other exists.
- What is Canonical URL: is it there? Does it match the current page or is it pointing elsewhere.
- Nofollow: Are the links on this page crawlable or not?
Green means the page has an identity. Red means it doesn’t know it’s invisible.

Who is Memento For?
You’ve just launched a new page and want to confirm Google can actually see it. Maybe you’re auditing a site and something isn’t ranking despite looking fine. You’ve migrated a site and want to check that no pages got accidentally noindexed. You’re checking a page a developer handed over and want to verify the basics before it goes live. Basically anyone who needs to know whether a page exists as far as Google is concerned.
FAQ
What’s the most common issue MEMENTO finds?
Noindex tags left on from staging environments. It happens constantly; a developer builds the site with noindex on, forgets to remove it before launch, and the whole site is invisible. One click with MEMENTO would catch it immediately.
What’s a canonical mismatch?
When a page’s canonical tag points to a different URL, it’s telling Google that another page is the definitive version. Sometimes intentional, often not. MEMENTO flags it so you can decide.
Does it check if the page is actually in Google’s index?
No, that requires a crawl or Search Console access. MEMENTO checks the signals on the page itself that tell Google whether to index it or not. Think of it as checking the instructions rather than the outcome. This is a specfic tool, whenfor when you need it.
Can I use it on competitor sites?
Yes. Knowing a competitor has accidentally noindexed key pages is useful intelligence.
