Meta Tag Checker
Enter a URL to see the actual title, meta description, canonical, robots, Open Graph, and Twitter/X Card tags returned in its page HTML - plus a SERP preview and a social preview.
This checks the HTML your server actually returns. Metadata injected only after JavaScript runs in a browser won't be detected here.
About This Meta Tag Checker
This tool securely fetches the URL you enter and parses the actual HTML your server returns, then displays the real title, meta description, canonical, meta robots, Open Graph, and Twitter/X Card tags it finds — rather than asking you to view the page source yourself. It analyzes the server-rendered HTML only; metadata injected purely by client-side JavaScript after the page loads won't be detected.
Need to create new tags instead of inspecting existing ones? Use the Meta Tag Generator to build title, description, Open Graph, and Twitter Card tags from scratch, or the Meta Description Generator to draft new descriptions from your page content. For a broader technical and on-page SEO review beyond metadata, run the SEO Audit tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a meta tag checker?
A meta tag checker is a tool that fetches a live webpage and shows you the actual metadata in its HTML — title, meta description, canonical, meta robots, Open Graph, and Twitter/X Card tags — instead of you having to view the page source by hand. This tool securely fetches the URL you enter, parses its HTML, and displays the real extracted values.
How do I check the meta tags on a website?
Enter the page's full URL above and click "Check Meta Tags." The tool fetches that page on the server, extracts its title, meta description, canonical, robots, Open Graph, and Twitter/X Card tags, and displays the real values along with a SERP preview and a social preview.
What meta tags does this tool check?
It extracts the page title, meta description, meta keywords, meta robots (plus the X-Robots-Tag response header when present), canonical URL, Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type, og:site_name), Twitter/X Card tags (twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image, twitter:site, twitter:creator), viewport, charset, and hreflang alternate links.
What is a good title tag length?
There is no fixed character limit Google requires — title links are generated from several sources and Google measures pixel width, not a strict character count, and can rewrite the displayed title entirely. As practical guidance, titles roughly 15-60 characters are less likely to be visually truncated in a typical search result.
What is a good meta description length?
Meta description is not a direct Google ranking factor, and Google frequently rewrites it with text pulled from the page itself. As practical guidance for how much is likely to display without truncation, roughly 50-160 characters is a reasonable target — but writing a genuinely useful summary matters more than hitting an exact count.
Does Google use the meta keywords tag?
No. Google has not used the meta keywords tag as a ranking signal since 2009. This tool displays it if present for reference, but its absence is not scored as a problem.
Why might some meta tags be missing even though they're on the live site?
This tool analyzes the HTML returned directly by the server, not a JavaScript-rendered version of the page. If a tag is only injected into the page after JavaScript runs in a browser (common in some single-page apps), it won't appear in the server HTML this tool fetches, so it won't be detected here even though a browser would eventually show it.
