Meta Tag Extractor

Extract and check all meta tags from any URL — title, description, canonical, robots, Open Graph, and Twitter Card tags. Instantly see what's set and what's missing.

What to check in your meta tags

Title tag is critical — Your title tag is the single most important on-page SEO element. It must include your primary keyword, be 50–65 characters, and make someone want to click.
Missing og:image kills social shares — Without an og:image, Facebook and LinkedIn show a blank card when someone shares your URL. Set a 1200×630px image on every important page.
Canonical prevents duplicate content — If your page is accessible at multiple URLs (with/without www, trailing slashes), a canonical tag tells Google which version to index.
robots meta controls indexing — A robots meta tag set to 'noindex' prevents Google from indexing the page entirely. Check this first if a page isn't showing up in search results.

Frequently asked questions

What are meta tags?

Meta tags are HTML snippets inside your page's <head> that tell search engines and social platforms about your content. They don't appear on the visible page but heavily influence how your page is indexed and shared.

Does meta description affect rankings?

Not directly — Google doesn't use it as a ranking signal. But a compelling meta description improves click-through rate from search results, which indirectly benefits your rankings over time.

What happens if I have no Open Graph tags?

Social platforms will guess — usually pulling random images and the first paragraph of text. Results are often broken or unappealing. Missing OG tags can halve the click-through rate on shared links.

Can I have different og:title and title tag?

Yes, and often you should. Your title tag is optimised for search (keyword-first). Your og:title can be more social-friendly — conversational, curious, share-worthy.
