Check a page’s meta tags and snippet

Paste a URL to audit the tags that decide whether a page can rank and what its snippet says — with lengths measured, not guessed, and the heading outline a crawler actually reads.

How this tool works, and what it cannot see

It reads the served HTML and reports the title, description, canonical, robots, viewport, language and charset, flagging lengths outside the range search engines usually render in full.

It lists the JSON-LD types on the page, because structured data is what answer engines quote from.

It reads the initial HTML only. If your tags are injected by JavaScript, this shows you what a crawler sees before rendering — which is often the real problem.

FAQ

What title length should I aim for?

Roughly 15 to 65 characters. Google truncates by pixel width, not characters, so treat the number as a guide: write the important words first and the truncation stops mattering.

Is a missing meta description a problem?

Not fatal — search engines write one from the page when yours is missing or unhelpful. But the description is the one piece of snippet copy you control, so leaving it empty is giving away the click.

My tags are set by JavaScript and this shows none. Does that matter?

Sometimes. Google renders pages, but rendering is queued and other crawlers and social scrapers usually do not render at all — which is why a shared link shows no preview. Server-render the head if you can.
