Meta Tags Checker

Enter a URL and see how its SEO metadata and social sharing tags are set up.

What the checker reads

The tool fetches the public HTML of the page and extracts the tags search engines and social networks commonly use: title, description, canonical, robots, H1, Open Graph and Twitter card metadata.

Where meta tags show up

Point at an item in the list to highlight it.

Site name, favicon and URL. Help people recognize your site among the results. A short readable address is easier to scan, and the canonical URL hints to Google which of several similar versions of a page to prefer. It is a signal, not a command.
Title. The blue headline of the result. Google shortens it to fit the screen width, not by character count, and sometimes rewrites it. About 60 characters is only a rough guide.
Meta description. The text under the headline. It is also shortened to fit the display width, roughly around 155 characters. Google sometimes replaces it with its own snippet from the page.
Share preview. Social networks take the title, description and image from the Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image).

Useful for

Checking a page before publishing it
Debugging weak Google snippets
Reviewing social sharing previews
Finding missing canonical or heading signals

How to read the report

Start with the title and meta description because they shape the first impression in search results. Then review the canonical URL, robots directive and H1. Open Graph and Twitter card tags matter most when articles, product pages and landing pages are shared.

The title should describe the page clearly and should not be empty or unnecessarily long.
The meta description should explain the page value in a natural sentence, not as a keyword list.
The canonical URL should point to the preferred version of the page.
The Open Graph image should be public, large enough and not blocked by robots.txt.

What to fix first

If several checks need attention, fix missing titles, missing descriptions, noindex robots tags and wrong canonicals first. Social tags are useful, but indexability and core SEO metadata are usually more urgent.

A missing or duplicated title can reduce search click-through rate.
A noindex robots tag can remove the page from Google results.
A wrong canonical can send signals to a different URL.
Missing Open Graph tags make shared links less predictable.

Limitations

The checker reads public HTML. If a page injects metadata after JavaScript runs, the result may differ from what you see in a browser. Google may also rewrite titles or descriptions for specific search queries.

The tool does not read Google Search Console data.
It does not simulate every social network cache.
It cannot guarantee that Google will use the same snippet.
It checks only public URLs available without login.

FAQ

Why does Google show a different title?

Google may rewrite a title when it is too long, duplicated, vague or mismatched with the search query. A clear title tag is still important because it remains a strong page-name signal.

Are meta keywords still useful?

No. Major search engines do not use meta keywords for ranking. Focus on title, meta description, headings, content, internal links and crawlability instead.

What is Open Graph?

Open Graph is a set of meta tags that define the title, description, image and content type used when a page is shared on social networks and chat apps.

Do you store checked URLs?

The checker is designed for immediate analysis of public pages. Do not submit private staging URLs or sensitive content unless it is safe to fetch publicly.
