How it works
- Paste the full URL you want to inspect (for example
https://example.com/page). - The tool fetches the live page over HTTP and parses the
<head>section of its HTML. - It reads each meta tag, measures lengths and validates required attributes.
- You get a clean, grouped report with the exact value of every tag and what to fix.
What it checks
- Title tag — presence and optimal length (30–60 characters).
- Meta description — presence and length (70–160 characters).
- Robots meta — index/noindex and follow/nofollow directives.
- Canonical link — the declared preferred URL for the page.
- Open Graph tags — og:title, og:description, og:image and og:type.
- Twitter Card tags — card type, title, description and image.
- Viewport & charset — mobile and encoding declarations.
Common use cases
- Pre-launch QA — confirm a new page has every essential tag before it goes live.
- Fixing weak snippets — diagnose a title or description that's too short or missing.
- Competitor research — see exactly how rivals write and structure their tags.
- Indexing checks — catch an accidental
noindexthat hides a page from Google.
Example
Analyze a product page and you might see a green title at 52 characters, an amber meta description warning that it's only 48 characters, a valid canonical, and a red flag that the Open Graph image is missing — so the page won't show a thumbnail when shared.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Meta Tag Analyzer free?
Yes — completely free, no signup and no limits. Analyze as many pages as you need with real, live data.
Why does my page have no meta description?
If the tag is missing, Google will generate its own snippet from the page text, which you can't control. Adding a concise, compelling description gives you that control back. Our meta description guide shows how to write one that earns clicks.
What should I check after the tags look good?
Validate how the page appears when shared with the Open Graph & Twitter Card Checker and confirm overall page health with the On-Page SEO Audit for a complete picture.
