Meta Tester

Find header meta problems on your website in minutes.

Run a complete website header checker for title, meta description, H1, canonical, robots, Open Graph, Twitter cards, icons, and technical head tags.

  • Homepage titles and descriptions at a glance
  • Shows whether your search snippet fits your offer
  • Clear fixes for stronger click-through rates

Start meta check

Add website URL and market context so we can check title/description relevance for your industry and region.

Length checks use practical SERP targets: title around 55-60 chars (max around 600px), description 120-155 chars, and concise H1 below 80 chars.

SERP Snippet Fit

Checks title/meta/H1 length and pixel-width so snippets are less likely to be truncated.

Social Preview Tags

Validates Open Graph and Twitter Card tags for stable link previews across platforms.

Icons & Assets

Verifies favicon, apple-touch-icon, manifest, and key technical head assets.

Industry/Region Fit

Evaluates whether title/description/H1 match your business type, service, and target region.

How the Meta Tester analyzes your website head

The Meta Tester fetches your homepage head section plus up to 5 subpages and validates 30+ individual head signals: title, meta description, H1, canonical, hreflang, robots directive, Open Graph, Twitter Cards, favicon, apple-touch-icon, manifest, viewport, theme-color, language declaration, and structured-data JSON-LD. Each signal is checked for presence, length, uniqueness, and intent fit against the business context you provide.

Title & description quality

Length in pixels (not just chars), keyword density, duplicate titles across subpages, request prompt visibility, and intent match with your service and region.

Social preview readiness

OG tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type, og:locale) plus Twitter Card set, image dimensions ≥ 1200×630, absolute URLs only.

Canonical & indexing

Self-referencing canonical, hreflang consistency, robots meta, noindex audit. One wrong noindex on marketing pages can kill organic traffic overnight.

Icons & PWA signals

Favicon.ico, SVG favicon, apple-touch-icon.png, manifest.json, theme-color, maskable icons, viewport meta. Matters for mobile UX and home-screen installs.

Structured data

JSON-LD schema presence, type correctness, required-field validation. Unlocks rich snippets and AI answer citations in one go.

Language & region

html lang attribute, content-language meta, hreflang alternates, geo-meta tags. Critical for multilingual and regional sites.

FAQ: Header Meta Test

What does the Meta Tester audit?

It audits all key head signals: title, meta description, H1, canonical, robots, Open Graph, Twitter cards, icons, manifest, viewport, and structured data.

What lengths should I target for title, description, and H1?

For better SERP visibility, keep titles around 55-60 chars (max around 600px), descriptions around 120-155 chars, and H1 headings concise below 80 chars.

Why do I only see full homepage details in the on-page result?

Public output focuses on a full homepage audit. Extended subpage optimization is delivered after opt-in as a short report and can be expanded with a separate full guide.

What is the difference between OG tags and Twitter Cards?

Open Graph tags (og:title, og:image, etc.) drive link previews on Facebook, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp. Twitter Cards drive rendering on X/Twitter. Both should be present and consistent.

Which favicon and icon formats are required in 2026?

Recommended: favicon.ico (32x32), apple-touch-icon.png (180x180), an SVG favicon for crisp rendering, manifest.json with PWA icons, and a theme-color meta for mobile browser UI.

Why is the canonical tag so important?

The canonical tag tells Google which URL is the primary version of a page and prevents duplicate content issues from query params, tracking IDs, or URL variants.

What happens if my robots meta is set to "noindex"?

The page is removed from the Google index. That can be intentional for internal areas, but on marketing pages it is a critical mistake that often causes total traffic loss.

Do I need a web app manifest if I am not a PWA?

A manifest is not required, but a minimal manifest.json with name, icons, and theme-color improves mobile UX when users add the site to their home screen.

How often should I verify my meta data?

After every major release and before SEO relaunches. A monthly quick check catches regressions such as missing canonicals or altered robots meta.
