Meta Tags Checker

About Meta Tags Checker

Enter a page address and this tool downloads the HTML and lists what a search engine or social network would read from the head: the title, description, canonical link, robots directive, Open Graph properties, Twitter Card fields and other named meta tags. It helps you confirm a page is set up correctly before you share or publish it.

How to use it

1. Enter the page address in the URL field, for example https://example.com/pricing.
2. Select Fetch Meta Tags. The address is sent to our server, which downloads the page for you.
3. Check the Primary Tags block for Title, Description, Canonical and Robots.
4. Scroll to the Open Graph and Twitter Cards tables to see what link previews will use.
5. Fix any missing or wrong values in your page source, redeploy and run the check again.

When to use it

• Verifying that a new blog post has a canonical link pointing at the right address before it goes live.
• Finding out why a shared link shows the wrong preview image by reading its og:image value.
• Spotting a stray noindex robots tag left over from a staging build.
• Comparing the metadata of a competitor page against your own template.

Questions about Meta Tags Checker

Why is the URL sent to your server?

Browsers block cross-site page downloads, so our server fetches the HTML and parses it. It follows up to five redirects, waits at most eight seconds and reads at most two megabytes of the response.

What if the title tag is missing?

The tool falls back to the og:title value, and the description falls back to og:description. If neither exists the field is shown empty, which is itself a useful finding.

Why do I see no Open Graph table?

The table only appears when the page contains at least one meta tag whose property starts with og: and that has content. Tags with an empty content attribute are skipped.

Can it check pages behind a login or on a private network?

No. It requests the page as an anonymous visitor, so login walls return whatever the public sees, and addresses that resolve to private or internal networks are refused.

Does it run JavaScript on the page?

No. It reads the raw HTML the server returns. Tags injected later by client-side scripts will not appear, although crawlers that render JavaScript might still see them.
