Google Index Checker

Your products are live. Are they indexed by Google?

You have invested in your online store, product descriptions and SEO. Now get a clear view of which pages Google has indexed — and which ones need attention.

Google Index Checker by Re{code} Commerce is a free bulk Google index checking tool for ecommerce owners, website managers and SEO teams. Import your XML sitemap, connect Google Search Console and review products, categories and content pages in one dashboard.

Make it part of a five-minute store health review: check the latest results, filter pages that are not indexed and decide what to investigate next. Initial setup and a fresh bulk check can take longer, depending on your sitemap and API limits.

The tool is free and supplied as is. SpeedyIndex is optional and charges separately for its services.

A clearer picture of your store's Google index coverage

Stop checking product URLs one by one. Use your sitemap as a working list, run bulk URL inspections and focus on the pages that matter to your business.

• See total URLs, checked pages, indexed pages, pages not indexed, unchecked URLs and errors at a glance.
• Import an XML sitemap or a sitemap index containing multiple child sitemaps.
• Review products, categories, brands, pages and posts separately, using platform-aware sitemap classification.
• Filter by URL, index status and submission status to narrow down your next action.
• Open a URL to see Google's reported coverage state, last crawl, crawler type, robots status and indexing permissions when available.
• Recheck a single URL or a whole section and keep a history of inspection results.
• Manage check and submission queues without switching between separate lists.
• Open the page or its Search Console inspection directly from the dashboard.

Built for ecommerce workflows

Check newly added products, review your catalog after a migration or redesign, and follow up after SEO changes. The tool includes sitemap profiles for OpenCart, Magento and BigCommerce, alongside generic rules for common WordPress, osCommerce and TrueLoaded sitemap structures. Classification depends on your sitemap and URL structure; a platform profile can be selected manually.

Know what needs investigation

A page that is not indexed is not automatically a broken page. Some URLs are intentionally excluded or represented by a canonical page. Start with products and categories you actually want customers to find, then use the reported status to guide your developer or SEO specialist.

For example, a product marked “Crawled — currently not indexed” needs a different investigation from a page blocked by robots.txt. The dashboard helps you see that distinction before spending money on indexing submissions.

Track changes instead of guessing

Each completed check adds a result to the URL's history. Compare repeated inspections to see whether a page has moved from not indexed to indexed, or whether a previously indexed page needs another review.

Check first. Submit selected URLs when needed

Index checking and indexing submission are different jobs. Google Index Checker brings them into one workflow, while keeping the result of a check separate from the status of a submission.

Google Search Console: inspect your own website

Connect your Google service account to inspect URLs belonging to your verified Search Console property. This route does not require a SpeedyIndex balance.

The URL Inspection API returns Google's stored information about a URL. It is not a live crawl test and does not request indexing. Google currently limits inspections to 2,000 requests per day and 600 per minute per Search Console property. Larger catalogs need to be checked over multiple runs or days.

Google Indexing API: a restricted submission option

The tool also includes a Google Indexing API submission option. Google's official support is limited to pages with JobPosting data or BroadcastEvent embedded in VideoObject. Ordinary product, category and blog pages are not supported use cases.

An accepted API notification is not proof that a URL has been indexed. Use this option only for eligible pages and follow Google's approval, ownership and quota requirements. For ordinary store pages, use Search Console's manual request-indexing workflow where appropriate, maintain your sitemap and resolve underlying site issues.

SpeedyIndex: optional paid indexing and index checks

Want to submit selected non-indexed URLs through an external service? Connect your own SpeedyIndex account, add your API key and send URLs from the same dashboard. Keep Google Search Console as your inspection method if you only want to use SpeedyIndex for submissions.

We selected SpeedyIndex after evaluating ten indexing providers for our own workflow. It is an optional integration, not a requirement for using the free checker.

SpeedyIndex supports balance top-ups by credit or debit card, PayPal and cryptocurrencies including USDT. Its current service terms include a pay-per-result option with token refunds for URLs not indexed by its reporting deadline. Confirm the applicable mode, pricing and refund terms with SpeedyIndex before submitting.

No external service can guarantee that Google will index every URL or improve its ranking. A submission does not fix a noindex directive, inaccessible page, incorrect canonical or content-quality problem.

How to connect Google Search Console and your sitemap

You only need to complete the Google connection once. Start with a Google account that owns your website's Search Console property. If your website is not verified yet, add it in Google Search Console and follow Google's ownership verification instructions first.

This checker uses the Google Search Console API. Google Analytics Data API and Google Analytics Admin API are not required for this tool.

1. Create or select a Google Cloud project

Open Google Cloud project management. Create a project with a recognisable name, such as “Store Index Checker”, or select an existing project. Keep this project selected throughout the following steps.

2. Enable the Google Search Console API

Open the Google Search Console API page and click Enable. This provides access to URL inspection for properties your service account is allowed to use.

3. Create a service account

Open Create service account. Enter a name, use the suggested service account ID or choose a valid unique ID, and optionally add a description. Complete creation without granting unnecessary Google Cloud project roles; Search Console access is granted separately.

4. Download its JSON key

1. Open the Service accounts list and select the account you created.
2. Open the Keys tab, then choose Add key → Create new key.
3. Select JSON and click Create. Save the downloaded file securely.
4. Find the client_email value in the JSON file and copy this service account email for the next step.

The JSON file contains a private key, not just a public API identifier. Do not publish it, include it in screenshots or send it through an ordinary contact form. Only add it to your trusted tool instance. If your organisation blocks service account key creation, ask its administrator to review the policy.

5. Give the service account Search Console access

1. Open Google Search Console and select your verified website property.
2. Go to Settings → Users and permissions → Add user.
3. Paste the service account email from client_email and grant Full permission for inspection.

This step is essential: creating a Cloud project and downloading a key does not grant access to your website's Search Console data.

6. Add your website and sitemap to the tool

1. Sign in to your Google Index Checker instance and open Settings → Site.
2. Enter the exact Search Console property: sc-domain:example.com for a Domain property, or https://www.example.com/ for a matching URL-prefix property. Include the trailing slash for URL-prefix properties.
3. Enter your Site URL, for example https://www.example.com/.
4. Enter your public XML Sitemap URL, for example https://www.example.com/sitemap.xml. Use your site's actual sitemap address.
5. Select Auto-detect for Sitemap platform, or choose your platform manually if the grouping needs adjustment.
6. Click Save settings.

All URLs you inspect must belong to the selected Search Console property. Sitemap import adds URLs to the tool; it does not automatically submit the sitemap to Google.

7. Add the JSON key and run your first check

1. Open Settings → APIs and choose Google Search Console API as the Index Inspection Method.
2. Under Google Service Accounts, click Add account, enter a label and paste the complete contents of your JSON file into Service Account JSON.
3. Save the account and the settings. Click the account's status indicator to test the connection.
4. Return to Settings → Site and click Import sitemap.
5. Select a section such as Products, click Check section and then Process now.
6. When checks have completed, review the summary and filter by Not indexed. Open individual URLs for details.

Catalog size, hosting performance and API quotas affect completion time. Start with a small section, confirm that results look correct and then work through the rest of your sitemap.
