What does a meta tag analyzer check?

A meta tag analyzer reads a page's HTML and reports the tags search engines use to describe it: the title and its length, the meta description and its length, every H1, the canonical URL, the robots directive, the viewport and language tags, and the Open Graph tags used when the link is shared. Ours adds a score out of 100 and a search preview.

The output

Everything the analyzer pulls off your page

One URL, one run, and the whole head of your page comes back in plain English. No crawl queue, no export, no account. The checks are grouped so you can see at a glance which part of the page needs work: the bit that shows in search, the bit that structures the content, and the bits that quietly control indexing and sharing.

Title and description

You get the exact title and meta description text plus a character count for each, next to a preview of how the result looks in Google. Most pages fail here for a boring reason: the description is empty, or the title repeats the brand name three times.

Headings

Every H1 on the page is listed, along with how many there are. Two H1s is not a penalty, but it usually means a theme or page builder is adding one you did not intend, so the page is telling Google two different things about its subject.

Indexing signals

Canonical URL, robots directive, viewport tag and page language. These four decide whether the page can be indexed at all and which version of it gets credit. A stray noindex left over from a staging site is the most expensive thing this tool finds.

Open Graph and word count

All Open Graph tags found, so you can see what a shared link will look like on Facebook, LinkedIn or WhatsApp. Plus a word count for the page body, which is useful context when a thin page is not ranking and you are not sure why.

Sensible targets for each tag

These are working ranges from practice, not limits Google publishes.

Title tag

Roughly 50-60 characters. Google truncates by pixel width, so wide capitals eat the space faster

Meta description

Roughly 150-160 characters on desktop and nearer 120 on mobile before the snippet is cut

One per page, saying plainly what the page is about

Canonical

Present, absolute, and pointing at the URL you actually want indexed

Robots directive

index, follow unless you have a deliberate reason to keep the page out

Viewport

width=device-width, initial-scale=1

Open Graph

og:title, og:description and og:image set so shared links render properly

HTTP status

200. A 301 or 404 behind a linked URL means the link points at the wrong place

Length rules

Why your title fits the counter and still gets cut

Google publishes no character limit for titles or meta descriptions. Its documentation says a description can be any length and the snippet is simply truncated to fit the device. Titles are cut by pixel width, not character count, so a title full of wide capitals runs out of room sooner than one with narrow lowercase letters. Google may also replace your title with its own if it judges yours a poor fit. Character counts are a guide, not a rule.

Fixing it

Where to change these in WordPress

Nearly every result this tool returns is editable in two places, and neither needs a developer. If you are on WordPress with Rank Math or Yoast installed, the search-facing tags live in the SEO box under the editor. The structural tags live in your theme or template.

Title, description, robots, canonical

Open the page in the WordPress editor and scroll to the Rank Math or Yoast panel below the content. Title and description sit on the first tab; the robots directive and canonical URL sit under Advanced. Save, then rerun this tool to confirm the change is live.

H1, viewport, Open Graph

The H1 is usually your page title block in Elementor or the theme header, so fix duplicates in the template rather than the post. Viewport is set once in the theme. Open Graph tags come from your SEO plugin's Social tab, where you can set a default share image.

Questions

Meta Tag Analyzer FAQ

How long should a title tag be?

Google does not publish a character limit. The title link shown in results is truncated by pixel width, and Google can rewrite your title entirely if it decides yours is a poor match for the query. In practice most people work to roughly 50-60 characters, which usually fits on desktop. Put the important words first so they survive whatever gets cut.

Is there an official meta description length limit?

No. Google's snippet documentation states there is no limit on how long a meta description can be, and that the snippet is truncated as needed to fit the device. If you want a hard ceiling you can set the max-snippet robots directive yourself. Around 150-160 characters is the common working range on desktop, closer to 120 on mobile.

Why does Google show a different title than the one I wrote?

Google treats your title tag as one input, not a final answer. Its systems can replace the title link with text taken from your H1, your site name or on-page content when it judges your title to be repetitive, stale or a poor fit for the search. This tool shows what is in your HTML, which is the part you control.

Do I need an API key or an account?

No. Paste a URL, press the button, read the result. There is no signup, no key, no credit card and no limit dressed up as a free trial. We built it because we run these checks on client sites every week and wanted a fast version we could point people at mid-conversation.

What does the score out of 100 actually mean?

It is our own weighting of the checks on this page, not a Google metric and not something Google sees. Treat it as a quick read on whether the basics are in place. A page can score well here and still rank badly, because titles and tags are one small part of why a page earns a position.

Can it check a whole site at once?

No. This tool takes one URL per run, which keeps it fast and free. For a full site you want a crawl that checks every page, flags duplicate titles across templates and pulls in Search Console data. That is what our website audit covers, and it takes a few days rather than a few seconds.
