How do I check meta tags for any website?

Simply enter the full URL of any website (including https://) into the Meta Tag Checker tool and click 'Check Meta Tags'. The tool fetches the page's HTML and parses all relevant meta tags, displaying them in an easy-to-read format along with Google and social media previews.

What is the ideal length for a meta title and description?

The ideal meta title length is between 50–60 characters. Google typically displays up to 60 characters before truncating. For meta descriptions, the ideal length is 150–160 characters. Descriptions longer than 160 characters may be cut off in search results, reducing click-through rates.

What are Open Graph tags and why do they matter?

Open Graph (OG) tags are HTML meta tags that control how your web page appears when shared on social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp. They define the shared title, description, and image. Without proper OG tags, social platforms may show incorrect or unappealing previews, reducing click-through rates on social shares.

Why does the meta tag checker show an error for some URLs?

Some websites block cross-origin requests (CORS policy), which prevents our tool from directly fetching their HTML in the browser. In such cases, you can view the page source manually by right-clicking the page and selecting 'View Page Source', then paste the HTML into the tool's manual input mode. Alternatively, use browser developer tools to inspect meta tags.
