The guide
What the crawl errors checker does, how to use it, and what to do with the result.
A crawl errors checker tests how accessible your page is to search engine crawlers and surfaces the problems that stop bots from reaching or reading it. Crawl errors quietly keep pages out of the index. This free tool inspects response codes, redirects, and blocking rules, then reports the issues that could prevent Google and other crawlers from indexing your content properly.
What the crawl errors checker detects
The checker requests your page the way a crawler would and evaluates what comes back. It looks for server errors in the 5xx range, client errors like 404 not found, redirect problems including loops and long chains, and access blocks from robots.txt or noindex directives that keep a page out of results. It also notes slow or failed responses that can interrupt crawling. Rather than combing through logs, you get a focused summary of the conditions that would trip up a crawler on this URL, showing whether the page returns cleanly or hits an obstacle that needs attention before it can be indexed.
How to read results and fix crawl issues
Triage by severity. A 5xx error points to a server or hosting issue that needs fixing before crawlers can reach the page at all. A 404 on a URL that should exist means restoring the page or correcting the link that leads to it. Untangle redirect chains so a URL reaches its destination in a single hop, and remove loops that trap crawlers. If a page you want indexed is blocked by robots.txt or carries a noindex tag by mistake, lift that restriction. After each fix, recheck the URL to confirm it now returns a clean, crawlable response ready for indexing.
Why crawl errors matter for search rankings
If a crawler cannot reach a page, that page cannot rank, no matter how good its content is. Crawl errors waste the budget search engines allocate to your site and can cause important URLs to drop out of the index entirely. Persistent server errors or blocked resources also signal an unreliable site, which erodes trust over time. Catching these issues early keeps your pages discoverable and your crawl budget spent on content that matters. For larger sites especially, regular crawl checks prevent small technical faults from quietly compounding into lost visibility across many pages.
