Meta Tag Checker

Check title, meta description, canonical, H1, OG tags and structured data

Why do meta tags matter?

Title and meta description decide how your page appears in search results and social shares. The tool reads the raw HTML and compares it against SEO best practices.

The title tag and meta description are the first things users see in Google search results — they directly drive click-through rate (CTR). A title that is too long gets truncated, too short wastes keyword opportunity; a missing or duplicate description leads Google to generate a weak snippet of its own. The Meta Tag Checker reads the page HTML directly and compares each tag against SEO standards: title and description length, presence of a canonical, number of H1s, a mobile viewport, complete Open Graph tags for social sharing, plus a list of structured data (JSON-LD) and images missing alt attributes. Everything is shown as an easy-to-read checklist so you can fix it right away.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ideal title and meta description length?
Titles should be 10–60 characters and meta descriptions 50–160 characters. Longer text gets truncated in Google search results.
How many H1 tags should a page have?
Exactly one H1 describing the main content. Multiple H1s or no H1 are both common on-page issues.
What are Open Graph tags for?
OG tags control the title, description and image shown when a link is shared on Facebook, LinkedIn or messengers. Missing OG tags make shared links look unprofessional.
Is structured data (JSON-LD) required?
Not required but highly recommended. Schema helps Google understand your content and show rich snippets (review stars, FAQ, breadcrumbs) in search results.
