AdSense Block Checker

Enter a domain to check the public signals behind blank ad slots, then work through the reasons AdSense ads fail to display.

AdSense Block Checker - enter your website URL

This lookup reads the public registration record for the domain you enter. It answers from the outside only: it cannot read your AdSense account, your content or your policy history, so it is guidance rather than a Google approval guarantee. How PubSpy handles data.

What this check returns

🧱

Site stability

Registration age, expiry window and registry status - a domain in trouble takes the ad code down with it.

A plain list of causes

Blank ad slots are almost always client-side. We tell you that plainly and list what to inspect in the browser, in order.

Where the answer really lives

Ad serving status, payment holds and policy filters sit inside AdSense. This page tells you which screen to open instead of guessing.

Why AdSense ads stop showing

First, the browser: content blockers, tracking protection, Brave shields or a corporate DNS filter all stop the ad request before it reaches Google. Test in a clean profile before you change any code.

Second, the code: an ad unit that was deleted, a script blocked by your own Content Security Policy, a consent message that never fires, or a slot inside a container with zero height.

Third, the account: pending review, a payment hold, or ad-serving filters that Google applies to a page. That part is only visible inside your AdSense account.

How to use this page

1

Check the domain first

Confirm registration, registrar and expiry before debugging any JavaScript.

2

Test in a clean browser profile

No extensions, no blockers. If ads appear there, the problem is client-side.

3

Then check AdSense

Confirm the site is approved, the ad units are active, and no policy filter applies to the page.

Frequently asked questions

Why are my AdSense ads blank?

The usual causes are ad blockers, a blocked or missing ads.txt, a consent flow that never completes, ad code removed from the template, or ad serving paused on the account. Start in a clean browser profile without extensions.

Can a checker detect ad blockers on visitors?

Blocked ad requests on your own visitors are visible in AdSense reporting as missing requests, not on this page. This check looks at domain-level signals only.

Do ad blockers violate AdSense policy?

No. Visitors may block ads. What violates policy is encouraging clicks or hiding ads behind deceptive layouts.

Does an ads.txt file affect whether ads show?

For AdSense it is a verification signal rather than a switch. A missing or wrong ads.txt can limit demand from other networks, so keep it accurate if you run them.
