Content pages hidden from Google with noindex

These look like pages people could search for, and your own pages link to them, but they tell search engines not to index them. If that isn’t deliberate, it’s search traffic you’re turning away.
Remove the noindex from /templates/* and give each template its own text.

FAQ

Questions site owners ask

Something else? hello@hintmesh.com

Is Hintmesh really free?

Yes. Sign in with Google (we only see your name and email) and audit up to 100 pages per site, as often as you need within fair daily limits. No credit card, no trial, no paid plan.

How can it be free?

Every check is a rule, not an AI prompt: we read your pages the way a search engine does and test them against what Google documents. That runs on low-cost infrastructure with no AI credits or resold data to pay for, so there's nothing to charge you for.

What does the audit check?

Indexing (noindex, canonicals, robots.txt, sitemaps, soft 404s, duplicate site versions), site structure (orphan pages, unreachable pages, click depth), links (broken internal links, redirect chains, weak anchors), content (thin, duplicate and near-duplicate pages, missing titles, H1s and descriptions) and AI crawler access.

Why isn't my page indexed by Google?

The usual causes are a noindex tag, a canonical pointing elsewhere, a robots.txt block, a redirect, a page that looks empty or duplicated, or no internal links pointing to it. Paste the page into the free indexing checker for a single URL, or run the full audit to find every affected page.

What is an orphan page?

A page that no other page on your site links to. It may still be in your XML sitemap, but visitors can't reach it by clicking and search engines treat it as unimportant. Hintmesh finds orphan pages by comparing your sitemap with the links it actually finds.

Can ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity read my site?

Many sites block AI crawlers without knowing: a robots.txt rule, or a firewall or CDN setting that turns them away while browsers get through. Most AI crawlers also don't run JavaScript. The audit checks your robots.txt for each AI crawler, requests your homepage the way they identify themselves, and shows what they see.

Will the audit slow down or harm my website?

No. Hintmesh crawls as HintmeshBot, respects robots.txt (including Crawl-delay), fetches only a few pages at a time and only reads public pages. It never submits forms or changes anything.

Does it work with WordPress, Shopify, Webflow and other platforms?

Yes, with any public website, because it reads the same HTML a search engine sees. If your content only appears after JavaScript runs, the audit will tell you, which matters because many crawlers see it the same way.
