Our Google Index Checker guide covers the manual and semi-manual ways to check whether a page is indexed. The Indexing Status dashboard is the Pro feature that does this automatically for every URL in a sitemap, connected directly to your own Google Search Console data — no copy-pasting URLs one at a time.
How It's Set Up
Connecting a site takes three steps:
- Pick a sitemap — choose which of your sites you want indexing data for.
- Connect Google Search Console — a standard Google sign-in flow that authorizes read access to your Search Console properties. Nothing is shared with anyone else; the connection is scoped to your account.
- Link a verified property — select which Search Console property matches this site. Linking kicks off the first inspection automatically.
After that, the dashboard remembers the connection — you don't reauthorize or relink every time you want to check indexing status again.
Bulk Inspection, With a Live Progress Bar
Once linked, every URL in the sitemap gets inspected against Search Console's indexing data. This runs in the background — a progress bar shows how many URLs have been inspected out of the total, updating as each batch completes, so you can leave the tab and come back rather than watching a spinner.
Google's Quota, Handled Automatically
Search Console's inspection API enforces its own daily quota per property. For a sitemap large enough to exceed it in one pass, the dashboard doesn't fail or ask you to start over — it saves progress and automatically resumes the next day. A status message explains exactly what happened (quota reached, a session expiring mid-batch, or a brief pause during a deploy) and you can also trigger a manual resume immediately instead of waiting for the automatic one.
Reading the Results
Results appear in a paginated table as inspection progresses — each row shows a URL's coverage state directly from Google, the same categories Search Console itself uses (indexed, excluded, and the specific reason when it's excluded). This is what turns a one-URL-at-a-time tool into a whole-sitemap view: instead of inspecting pages individually to build a mental picture of your index coverage, the picture is already assembled for you.
For what those different exclusion reasons actually mean and how to fix each one, see why pages aren't being indexed.
Refreshing Later
Indexing status isn't a one-time snapshot — a refresh button re-runs inspection for the linked property whenever you want an updated picture, using the same background batching and quota handling as the initial run.
