Meta Tag Analyzer
Check a page's title, meta description, canonical, robots, viewport, Open Graph and Twitter tags with a 0-100 score.
Analyze a page's meta tags
We fetch the page from our server, so it must be reachable without a login.
What the Meta Tag Analyzer does
Meta tags are the lines in the <head> of a page that search engines and social networks read before anyone sees the content: the title, the description, the canonical URL, the robots directive, the viewport for phones and the Open Graph and Twitter Card tags that build link previews. They are easy to get wrong because they are invisible on the page itself. A theme update can drop the description, a plugin can add a second canonical, and a staging setting can leave noindex on a live page for months.
This analyzer fetches the URL the way a crawler does, follows redirects, parses the HTML and lists every tag it finds. The title and description are measured in characters against the ranges that fit in a Google result. The H1 count, canonical, robots, viewport and charset are checked for presence and sanity. All Open Graph and Twitter tags are listed as found, so you can see exactly what Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and X will use for the preview.
The score out of 100 is a quick way to compare pages or to check a fix landed. Each deduction comes with the reason, so the list under the score doubles as a to-do list. The checker reads the HTML the server sends; tags added later by JavaScript are not seen, which is also true for most social crawlers.
Step by step
- 01Enter the full URL of the page, including https://.
- 02Click Analyze. The page is fetched from our server, so pages behind a login cannot be checked.
- 03Read the title and description rows: green means the length fits a search result, amber means it will be cut or is too short.
- 04Work through the reasons under the score, starting with the red ones (missing title, noindex, no viewport).
- 05Fix the tags in your CMS and run the check again to confirm.
Common questions
Titles between 30 and 60 characters usually display in full on desktop and mobile. Descriptions between 70 and 160 characters fit the snippet. Google measures in pixels, not characters, so a title full of wide letters like W and M may still be cut; the ranges here are a safe approximation.
Most often the title is inserted by JavaScript after the page loads. The checker, like a search crawler on the first pass, reads the HTML the server sends. Render the title on the server or in the static HTML so every crawler sees it.
No. Google has not used it for ranking since 2009 and Bing treats it as a spam signal at worst. The tool does not score it. Spend the effort on the title, description and headings instead.
It tells search engines not to list the page. That is correct for thank-you pages and internal search results, but on a product or blog page it is usually a leftover from staging. The tool deducts heavily for it because it hides the page completely.
Only if the staging URL is reachable from the internet without a password. Pages on localhost, private networks or behind HTTP authentication cannot be fetched.
