If you think that Google has penalized your website, you should compare the total no. of previously indexed URL’s with the latest indexed ones. For doing it you need to use the operator “site:yourdomainname.com” in the search bar of Google. Incase if no URL’s are seen, try using the command “link:yourdomain.com” Still if no links are shown, there is a dense possibility that Google has penalized your site.
Though, Google Page Rank isn’t a crucial parameter anymore, still it is possible that incase of penalization, you would experience a loss of pagerank.
To check if Google has de-indexed your website entirely, you can copy some content from the website and paste the same in the search bar of Google. If the page from where you’ve copied the content doesn’t come at the first place you must use the command “cache:www.google.com/seo.html” in the Google search bar. Yet, if your domain name or the webpage isn’t listed in the search results, your website has surely been penalized by being de-indexed from Google
