Meta tags analyzer
Check any page's title, meta description, canonical, robots, Open Graph tags and headings. See how it looks in Google and when shared, with plain advice on what to fix.
Google preview
How the page could look in desktop search results.
Google sometimes rewrites titles and descriptions to match a search, so the real result can differ.
Social preview
How a shared link could look on Facebook, LinkedIn or WhatsApp.

What the analyzer checks
Title and description
Length in characters and in pixels, which is how Google decides where to cut text off. Missing or duplicate tags are flagged.
Indexing signals
Canonical tag, robots meta tag and X-Robots-Tag header, so you can spot a stray "noindex" or a canonical pointing to the wrong page.
Mobile and language
Viewport, language, character set, favicon and hreflang tags for pages in more than one language.
Social sharing
Open Graph and X (Twitter) card tags, with a preview of the image, title and description people see when the link is shared.
Headings
Every H1 to H6 in order, the number of H1s, skipped levels and empty headings, so the page outline makes sense.
Structured data
The schema types found in JSON-LD and microdata, and any JSON-LD that can't be read because of a syntax error.
What are meta tags?
Meta tags are bits of code in a page's head that describe the page to search engines and social networks. Visitors don't see them on the page, but Google uses the title and description in search results, and Facebook and LinkedIn use Open Graph tags when someone shares your link.
Why does Google show a different title or description?
Google rewrites titles and descriptions when it thinks other text on the page matches the search better. You can't force it, but titles that describe the page accurately, and descriptions that answer the searcher's question, are rewritten less often.
Why can't the tool read some websites?
Some sites block automated visitors or show a security check first. The tool also reads the HTML your server sends before any JavaScript runs. SEO plugins add their tags to that HTML, so they show up here. Tags added later by JavaScript may not.
Do meta keywords still matter?
No. Google has ignored the meta keywords tag for years, and Bing treats it as a possible spam signal. Spend the time on your title, description and content instead.
How long should my title and description be?
Aim for a title of about 50 to 60 characters and a description of about 120 to 160. Use the word counter to draft them and check their length before you publish.
