Instantly check any page's title tag, meta description, H1, canonical URL, robots meta, and Open Graph tags — with color-coded SEO health indicators.
Meta tags are snippets of HTML code that tell search engines and social platforms what your page is about. They live in the <head> section of your HTML and are invisible to visitors, but critical for how your page appears in Google search results and social media previews.
The title tag is the blue clickable headline Google shows in search results. It's one of the strongest on-page SEO signals. Keep it between 50–60 characters, include your target keyword near the front, and make it compelling enough to earn the click.
The meta description is the grey text below the title in Google results. While it's not a direct ranking factor, a well-written description improves click-through rate (CTR), which influences rankings indirectly. Aim for 150–160 characters with a clear call to action.
The canonical tag tells Google which version of a page is the "official" one. It prevents duplicate content penalties when the same content is accessible at multiple URLs — for example, HTTP vs HTTPS, or with and without trailing slashes.
The robots meta controls whether Google indexes your page and follows its links. A noindex directive removes the page from search results entirely. Always check this on pages you expect to rank — accidentally noindexed pages is one of the most common and costly SEO mistakes.
Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image) control how your page looks when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, X, and other social platforms. Without them, platforms use whatever text and image they find first, often with poor results.
