Robots.txt was blocking my /blog/ directory — an old staging rule that never got removed. The checker caught it immediately. Google was completely ignoring all my blog content.

Sitemap had 340 URLs but only 180 were returning 200 status. Cleaned the sitemap to only include canonicalised, indexable pages and crawl efficiency improved noticeably.

Noindex pages should not be in your sitemap. It sends contradictory signals. The checker validates for this conflict automatically.
