Facet Index Risk Checker

Facet Index Risk Checker evaluates whether your filtered or faceted URLs are creating index bloat. Excess faceted pages can flood crawl budget and cause duplicate content issues.

Enter a URL and the tool highlights parameter patterns, duplicate paths, and risky combinations. It then suggests controls like canonicalization, parameter handling, and robots rules.

You get guidance on which facets should remain indexable versus those that should be consolidated or excluded to preserve crawl efficiency. Use it for ecommerce, marketplaces, and large catalogs where filters can generate thousands of near-duplicate URLs. It helps you balance discoverability with crawl control. Clear rules reduce index noise over time.
