Review rules, listed URLs and page-level signals.

Steps to verify

  • Review status and file contents.
  • Check important URLs are public.
  • Check actual indexing separately.

How to interpret the result

The audit checks bounded same-host files. It does not discover every declaration or fully interpret every crawler rule.

Deciding what to do next

Distinguish a missing file signal from a conclusion that visibility is impossible. Recheck the same URL and record file changes.

Feature scope

Inspect fetched HTML and bounded same-host file signals, not every page, script rendering, penetration testing or search and advertising approval.

Frequently asked questions

Does a successful sitemap response mean all pages are indexed?

No. Review the listed content and actual search state separately.
