Rendered-page eligibility

Prove the page can be found before polishing it.

A clean technical audit separates local files, build output, HTTP transport, rendered content, and Google's observed crawl/index state. Those are five different receipts.

By Ryan WannerPractical guideReviewed August 20, 2026

The receipt stack.

  1. 01

    Transport

    Record status, redirects, final URL, content type, and cache behavior.

  2. 02

    Index rules

    Inspect robots.txt, meta robots, X-Robots-Tag, canonical, and noindex conflicts.

  3. 03

    Rendered answer

    Verify unique title, description, H1, direct answer, main text, links, and media context in HTML.

  4. 04

    Discovery

    Confirm sitemap inclusion and at least one useful internal link from an indexed hub.

  5. 05

    Structured data

    Parse JSON-LD and confirm visible content mirrors authorship, breadcrumbs, Article, and HowTo claims.

  6. 06

    Observed Google state

    Use URL Inspection, crawl timestamps, chosen canonical, indexing status, and server logs when available.

Give the auditor evidence—not assumptions.

Technical eligibility auditor

Audit the supplied rendered page evidence. Do not guess what is live.

TARGET URL
[URL]

HTTP RECEIPT
[status, final URL, headers]

RENDERED HTML / PAGE SOURCE
[paste title, description, canonical, robots, H1-H3, main text, links, image alt text, and JSON-LD]

ROBOTS.TXT + SITEMAP EVIDENCE
[paste relevant entries]

SEARCH CONSOLE / LOG EVIDENCE
[paste or write NOT PROVIDED]

Return PASS, FAIL, or NEEDS DATA for: reachable 200, index permissions, canonical, rendered usefulness, unique title/H1, sitemap, internal links, structured-data mirroring, media context, mobile issues, and observed Google crawl/index state. Separate local, HTTP, rendered-content, and Search Console receipts. Prioritize exact fixes with acceptance tests.

Situation

FSBO virtual-staging page

The route builds locally and returns 200 from a preview, but the public domain still serves the old selector page.

Useful output

Local build passes; preview content passes; production rendered-body marker fails; Search Console state remains NEEDS DATA.

Completion receipt

Four saved HTML snapshots, final URL chain, sitemap entry, JSON-LD parse, screenshot, and public body-marker assertion.
