Paste the address of a WordPress post, page or home page above to see if Google can index it and show it well. You get HTTPS, noindex, the title tag, meta description, headings, canonical, mobile viewport, alt text, structured data and share tags. Each one comes back Pass, Check or Fail, with the reason beside it.
Where to fix each result in WordPress
- Noindex fails: open Settings > Reading and look at Search engine visibility. Ticking Discourage search engines from indexing this site asks search engines to stay off the whole site, so untick it once the site is live.
- Title shows Check or Fail: Settings > General holds the Site title, which most themes show at the top of every page and in the browser tab. If every page has the same title, look at what your theme or SEO plugin puts in it.
- Canonical points somewhere else: WordPress adds a canonical tag to single posts and pages by itself. If the result shows an address you didn't expect, a plugin or your theme has probably changed it.
- Alt text fails: alt text you type in the Image block settings applies only to that image in that post. Alt text set in the Media Library becomes the default the next time you insert the image, so fix images already on the page in the block.
- HTTPS fails: Settings > General holds WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL). The Site Address is the one people type to reach you, so once your host has a certificate it should start with https.

What it does not check
It checks one page per run, not the whole site. It doesn't install in WordPress, sign in to your admin area or fix anything for you. Speed, broken links, plugin updates and security aren't on its list.
A post, a page and your home page can be built differently, so run one of each before you change settings that affect them all.
