It's common for a website owner or webmaster to check how many pages of their website have been indexed by Google. That's exactly where an indexed pages checker comes in — a useful way to find out how many pages of a website search engines have actually indexed.
There are two ways to check how many pages of your website Google has crawled — and you don't actually need any tool for it, you can check it right from your browser. Below both manual methods, plus a quick online tool, are covered.
Quick Online Checker
Enter your website URL below to instantly check its Google index status.
1st Option: Check Manually On Google
- Open Chrome (or any browser).
- Type
site:www.yoursitename.comin the address bar — replace "www.yoursitename.com" with your actual website URL. - Hit Enter.
- Google will show how many pages of your site have been crawled by its robots.
Count the total number of results shown — that's how many of your pages are currently indexed.
A trick to know: if any pages aren't linked internally, or are blocked by robots.txt or a meta tag, they won't show up here even if they exist — so make sure all your pages are properly interlinked and not blocked.
2nd Option: Google Search Console
Google Search Console (formerly Google Webmaster Tools) is a free tool for website owners. Steps to check total indexed pages:
- Go to Google Search Console.
- Log in with your Google account.
- Select your website property from the dashboard.
- Go to the "Pages" (Index) report in the left-hand menu.
- Search Console will show total indexed pages, plus a graph of crawl history over time.
This graph tells you the total number of pages crawled by Google to date, and helps you track changes as you publish or fix pages.
