How to use it

Analyze meta tags in three steps

  1. Paste your URLs

    One per line, with or without https://. Up to 10 at a time: your own pages or a competitor's.

  2. Click Analyze Meta Tags

    We load each page the way a crawler does and read the tags in its HTML.

  3. Check the previews and checklist

    Each URL gets a Google result preview, a social share card and a checklist with a note for every tag. The pill shows how many issues need work.

Previews

See it before anyone else does

Most checkers just list your tags as text. This one draws them the way people will actually see them.

Google search preview

Your URL path, your title tag and your meta description, laid out like a Google result. You see straight away if the title is cut off mid-word or the description trails off mid-sentence.

Social share preview

The card people see when your link is shared: og:image on top, then the domain, og:title and og:description. If there is no image, the card says "No og:image found" so the gap is obvious.

What it checks

What the meta tag analyzer checks

The tags that decide how your page looks before anyone clicks.

Title tag

Present or missing, and its length. Aim for 50 to 60 characters: under 30 is flagged as short, and over 60 may be cut off in search results.

Meta description

Present or missing, and its length. Search engines show roughly 150 to 160 characters before cutting it off, so that is the sweet spot. We flag anything under 70 or over 160.

Canonical tag

Shows the canonical URL the page declares, or warns when there is none, to help you avoid duplicate content issues.

Mobile viewport

Checks for the viewport tag that makes a page render properly on phones. Without it, mobile browsers show a shrunken desktop page.

Open Graph tags

og:title, og:description and og:image, used by Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Slack for link previews.

Twitter Card

Reads the twitter:card type that controls how links look on X. If it is missing, we note that X falls back to your Open Graph tags, so it is a warning, not a failure.

Tips

How to write tags that get clicks

Passing the checklist is the start. These habits turn the preview into a click.

Lead with the topic

Put the words people search for near the start of the title. Keep the brand name at the end, if at all.

Write the description as an ad

Say what the reader gets and why yours is the page to open. One clear benefit beats a list of keywords.

Set an og:image of 1200 × 630

Without one, shared links show a small or empty preview. Use an absolute https URL and keep text on the image large.

Make every title unique

Duplicate titles across pages make it hard for Google to tell them apart. Check your templates, not just single pages.

Why it matters

Why meta tags still matter

Meta tags are signposts. They help search engines understand what a page is about, and they are the first thing a person sees before deciding to click.

Yes, Google stopped using the meta keywords tag years ago. But your title and description still shape whether someone picks your result over a competitor's. If the snippet looks broken, cut off or generic, you lose clicks you had already earned with your ranking.

The tool is not only for your own pages. Paste a competitor's URL to see how they frame their titles and descriptions. It is a quick way to spot gaps in your own approach.

Click-through rate

Your title and description are your ad in the search results. A clear, complete snippet earns more clicks at the same position.

Social sharing

Open Graph tags turn a bare link into a card with an image and headline wherever it is shared.

Clear signals

Canonical and viewport tags tell search engines which URL to index and that the page works on mobile.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does checking a page affect its rankings?

No. The analyzer only reads the page's public HTML, like any visitor. It changes nothing and submits nothing to search engines.

Is the meta tag analyzer free?

Yes, with no sign-up. You can check up to 10 URLs per request. A fair-use limit of 10 checks a minute keeps it fast for everyone.

Can I check a competitor's pages?

Yes. Any public URL works, which makes it easy to compare how your snippets and share cards stack up.

Will Google show exactly this preview?

It shows what your tags ask for. Google sometimes rewrites titles or picks its own snippet from the page, especially when the description is missing or does not match the search.

Why does it say "No og:image found"?

The page has no og:image tag, or it is not a full http(s) URL. Shared links will then show a generic or empty preview. Add an absolute image URL in your SEO plugin or page head.

Do meta keywords still matter?

No. Google has ignored the keywords tag for years, so we leave it out of the checklist and focus on the tags that affect search and sharing.

Why is the limit 10 URLs?

It keeps each check fast. For a full-site audit of thousands of pages, a crawler such as Screaming Frog is the better fit.

Do you store the URLs I check?

No. A result is kept for a few minutes so repeat checks are fast, then it is gone.
