Framer · Free website check
Why your Framer site isn’t showing on Google
Most of the time it’s one setting, or just a wait. The free check reads your site for common search and sharing problems and shows what it finds, with the Framer steps to fix it.
Check these first, most likely first
Start at the top. Each one says where to find the setting in Framer.
The page isn’t set to show in search engines
A page with this unticked carries a noindex tag. Framer lists it as the first thing to check.
- Open the page’s settings in the Pages panel.
- Tick “Show this page in search engines”, then Publish.
Framer help: Google is not indexing my site
The free check reads this from your page.
The page has a password or a redirect
Search engines can’t get past a password, and a redirect can send them to a different address.
- Check the page isn’t password protected.
- In Site settings, look at the redirect rules and remove any that send this page elsewhere. Then Publish.
Google doesn’t have your sitemap
Google finds a site faster when it has been told where its sitemap is.
- Framer publishes /sitemap.xml for you.
- Submit it in Google Search Console.
The free check looks for your sitemap and tells you if it is missing or points elsewhere.
See whether Google has listed your site yet
- Search Google for
site:yourdomain.com, using your own address. Pages in the results are on Google. No results does not prove the site is absent: this search can omit indexed pages. Use URL Inspection below to check a specific page. - To check one page, open Google Search Console (free), paste the page’s address into the box at the top and read the answer: “URL is on Google” or “URL is not on Google”. Open “Page indexing” to see why.
- If the page isn’t on Google and nothing is blocking it, press “Request indexing”. Google says this usually takes a day or so, can take much longer, and isn’t guaranteed.
A new site can take a while: Google says anywhere from a day or two to a few weeks, and suggests allowing at least a week after you submit a sitemap.
Google: check a page with URL Inspection Google: why a page might be missing from search
What the free check looks at
- Whether the page asks search engines not to list it (a noindex tag or header).
- Whether robots.txt shuts search engines out.
- Whether the site publishes a sitemap, and whether it points at your own pages.
- Whether the page names another address as its main one.
- Whether the www and non-www addresses both work.
- The search settings of up to 10 other pages.
It only reads public pages. It never signs in, and nothing on your site changes. It can’t see Google’s own list, which is why the steps above matter. How the check works.
A noindex switch that someone turns back on is an easy way for a site to drop out quietly. DeployPost Watch runs this check on your page every day and emails you when something looks different. See DeployPost Watch.
