See your page the way Google and AI crawlers see it.

Check title, meta description, canonical, headings and Open Graph tags on any page — with a search result preview and a count of the words a non-JS crawler sees.

  • Title and description lengths against where Google truncates
  • H1 and H2 structure, which is what passage extractors read
  • Word count from raw HTML — what a crawler sees without JavaScript

Free, no signup, no rate limit. Nothing you check is stored.

How to use the meta tag checker

  1. Enter a page URL

    Check the pages you want people to find first — commercial pages before blog posts.

  2. Read the title length

    Titles are truncated around 580 pixels, roughly 60 characters. Front-load anything that must survive the cut.

  3. Check the description does work

    Descriptions are not a ranking factor, but they decide whether anyone clicks. A page with no description gets whatever text the engine chooses.

  4. Confirm the canonical is self-referential

    A canonical pointing somewhere else tells engines to index that page instead of this one, which is occasionally intended and usually not.

Why your description gets rewritten anyway

Google rewrites meta descriptions most of the time, choosing page text that better matches the query. That is not a reason to skip writing one. The description is what appears when there is no obvious better match, which includes brand searches and shares — the queries most likely to convert. It also sets the framing an engine works from. A description that states what you do, for whom, and at what price is one an engine can lift verbatim.

Open Graph is what people actually see

Every share on Slack, LinkedIn, WhatsApp or iMessage renders your Open Graph tags, not your meta description. A missing og:image produces a bare grey link that measurably fewer people click. The subtlety worth knowing: declaring an openGraph block without an image can suppress an otherwise working default, so a page that had a card can silently lose it after an unrelated change. Check the pages you share most.

Questions about this tool

How long should a title tag be?
Around 60 characters. Google truncates on pixel width rather than character count, so that's an approximation — but titles past about 60 characters are usually cut, and a visibly truncated title reads as careless.
How long should a meta description be?
Roughly 155 characters. Longer descriptions get cut mid-sentence; much shorter wastes the space. Google rewrites descriptions it doesn't think fit the query, so treat it as a strong suggestion rather than a guarantee.
Why does the word count matter?
It's the count from raw HTML, before any JavaScript runs. Most AI crawlers don't execute JavaScript, so a page showing a few dozen words here is nearly blank to them no matter how it looks in a browser.
Do meta keywords still matter?
No. Google stopped using them in 2009 and no major engine has used them since. This tool doesn't report them because there is nothing useful to say.
