Enter any page to list its meta tags and heading outline.

The Meta Tags Search Engines Read

  • Title: the clickable headline in search results, and the strongest on-page relevance signal.
  • Meta description: the snippet under the title when Google uses it. It doesn't affect rankings, but it does affect clicks.
  • Robots: noindex here keeps the page out of search entirely.
  • Viewport and charset: needed for mobile-first indexing and for text that reads correctly.

See how the title and description will look in Google with the SERP snippet preview, and test share cards with the Open Graph checker.

How to Check a Page's Meta Tags and Headings

  1. 1

    Paste the page URL

    Enter any public page. The checker reads the HTML your server sends, the same copy search engines start from.

  2. 2

    Review the head

    Check the title, the meta description and the full list of meta tags, including robots, viewport, charset and social tags.

  3. 3

    Read the heading outline

    Headings are listed in page order and indented by level, with any skipped level marked.

  4. 4

    Fix what's flagged

    Keep one title, one description and one H1, never skip a heading level, and move any metadata out of the <body>.

Check more than the head

The free audit runs these same title, description and heading checks, plus indexability, schema, links, Core Web Vitals and AI-search readiness.

Meta Tag Checker FAQ

Which meta tags matter for SEO?

The title tag and meta description shape how the page looks in search results. The robots meta tag decides whether it can be indexed, viewport is needed for mobile-first indexing, and charset keeps the text readable. Open Graph and Twitter tags control share cards but don't affect rankings.

Does Google use the meta keywords tag?

No. Google has ignored meta keywords for ranking since 2009, and Bing treats a stuffed keywords tag as a spam signal. You can remove it.

How long should a title and meta description be?

Google cuts them off by pixel width, not characters: roughly 50–60 characters for a title and 150–160 for a description. The SERP snippet preview measures both in pixels so you can see exactly where they cut off.

Can a page have more than one H1?

HTML allows it, and Google says it copes. One H1 still states the page's topic without ambiguity for search engines, AI answer engines and screen readers, which is why the checker warns about extra H1s rather than failing them.

Why does skipping heading levels matter?

Screen-reader users jump between headings by level, and AI answer engines split a page into sections by its headings. Going from an H2 straight to an H4 breaks both. Headings should nest one level at a time.

Is the meta tag checker free?
