Meta tag checker.How your page looks before the click.
Enter a page. You see it as a Google result and as a shared link, every meta tag it sends, and what to change in the title, description, canonical and Open Graph tags.
What the checker looks at
- Title and description
- Whether they exist, appear once and fit the space Google gives them, with a preview of the result.
- Canonical
- Whether the page names itself as the address to index, or points somewhere else.
- Indexing
- Robots meta tags and the X-Robots-Tag header that can keep the page out of search.
- Open Graph and Twitter cards
- The headline, description and image social apps show, with the image's real size.
- The basics
- Viewport, language, character set and favicon.
- Every tag
- A plain list of every meta and link tag in the page's head, as written.
Writing better tags
- Title: topic first
- Start with what the page is about, then what makes it worth the click, then the brand. Stay under 60 characters.
- Description: answer the click
- 120 to 160 characters that say what the reader gets. Google rewrites weak ones, so be specific.
- One canonical per page
- Point it at the page's own https address unless the page is a copy of another.
- A share image for every page
- 1200 by 630 pixels, with the main point readable at phone size.

A link rel=canonical tag that names the preferred address of a page. When the same content opens at several addresses, it tells Google which one to show.
og:title, og:description and og:image tell Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, WhatsApp and others what to show when your link is shared. X reads them too and adds its own twitter:card tag.
