I bought two aged domains for SEO projects and before I build anything on them, I want to be sure the old pages aren’t blocked or deindexed. Is there a quick way to check if any of the old URLs still show up in Google or if I need to do a full cleanup?

I went through this with a travel niche expired domain — about 120 old URLs in total. I used a link checker tool that scanned the URLs in bulk and showed me which ones were still indexed and which had been dropped. It even flagged a few old pages still appearing in Google that redirected incorrectly. That let me set up proper 301s to my homepage and filter out toxic links before building anything new. Much better than relying on GSC or manual Google searches. Definitely recommend doing it early if you’re working with expired domains.
