Limits worth knowing in Google Rich Results Test

  • Checks only the rich result types Google Search supports; Google points to the Schema Markup Validator for general schema.org checks.
  • Pages behind a firewall or login, or blocked by robots.txt, cannot be tested by URL; you need a tunnel or a code snippet.
  • A passing test does not guarantee a rich result: Google says it chooses result layouts per search.
  • Shared results links and saved test history last only about 90 days, and anyone with a bookmark can open it.
