  • Indexing: robots meta and X-Robots-Tag rules, canonical URL and hreflang.
  • Social sharing: Open Graph and X (Twitter) card tags with a preview.
  • Content: image alt text, amount of visible text, internal and external links, and JSON-LD structured data.
  • Technical basics: HTTPS, mobile viewport, language, character encoding, redirects, compression and response status.

Common meta tag mistakes

  • The same title or description on every page. Each page needs its own.
  • A noindex tag left on after launch, which keeps the page out of Google entirely.
  • Keyword-stuffed titles that read badly. Write for the person searching.
  • No canonical tag, or a canonical pointing at the wrong page.
  • Missing Open Graph image, so shared links show no picture.
  • More than one H1, or no H1 at all.

Frequently asked questions

What is a meta tag?

Meta tags are snippets of HTML in a page's head that describe the page to search engines and social networks. The most important are the title tag and the meta description, which usually form the headline and summary shown in Google results.

How long should a title tag be?

Aim for about 30 to 60 characters. Google shows roughly the first 600 pixels, which is about 60 characters, and cuts longer titles with an ellipsis. Put the most important words first and keep each title unique across your site.

How long should a meta description be?

About 70 to 160 characters. Google often rewrites descriptions, but a clear, accurate one that matches the search increases the chance your version is used and the chance people click.

Do meta tags help you rank?

The title tag is a real ranking signal. The meta description is not a direct ranking factor, but it affects click-through rate. Other tags, such as canonical and robots, control which version of a page is indexed and whether it is indexed at all.

What is a canonical tag?

A canonical tag tells search engines which URL is the preferred version of a page when the same content is reachable at several addresses. It prevents duplicate-content confusion and consolidates ranking signals on one URL.

What are Open Graph tags?

Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image and others) control how a link looks when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Slack and similar apps. Without them the preview can be plain or wrong.

Is it safe to check any website?

Yes. We only read what is publicly visible on the page, the way a search engine does. We do not store the page, and private or internal addresses are blocked.
