Check which site pages have been indexed by Google Search Engine

This article shows you how to check and act upon old indexed URLs that you wish to remove from the search index. 

Note: In case you wish to stop the entire site getting indexed for any reason, visit Stop search engines from indexing the site. However, it is up to the Search engines to honor this request.


To check which pages have been indexed for your site, do a google search and check all the pages listed one by one. On Google Search, type - Site:Your_Site (Where yoursite is the domain you wish to use without HTTPS://)(Example - site:blockchainlearning.knorish.com)

site:your_site image

Note: This will list all the indexed pages in the search result where you can check the URLs yourself. Or you could also check your Index Coverage Report here: Index Coverage report.

  1. Delete the URL from the index
  2. Place a permanent redirect to another
