Meta tag checker: what’s checked
Your title tag and meta description are what a searcher reads before deciding whether to click. Search engines also use the title as one of the strongest signals of what a page is about, so a missing or duplicated title costs you twice.
Checking tags one page at a time misses the real problem, which is usually a template: fifty product pages sharing one title, or a blog theme that leaves descriptions empty. This checker crawls the site and groups the pages that share each problem.
10 Titles & meta tags Titles and descriptions are what a searcher sees in the results, and the first thing a search engine reads. These checks make sure each page describes itself once, clearly and uniquely.
-
Duplicate titles
When pages share a title, search engines can’t tell them apart and may rank the wrong one. Make each title unique to the page’s content.
-
Meta description too long (over 160)
Descriptions over ~160 characters get truncated in search results. Trim to the key selling point.
-
Meta description too short (under 70)
Very short descriptions waste the chance to earn the click. Expand to a compelling 120–160 characters.
-
Missing <title>
The <title> is the clickable headline in search results and the strongest on-page signal. Give every page a unique, descriptive title of 50–60 characters.
-
Missing Open Graph tags
Open Graph tags control how your page looks when shared on social media. Add og:title, og:description and og:image for attractive link previews.
-
Missing Twitter Card tags
Twitter Card tags control how links look on X/Twitter. Add twitter:card and related tags for rich previews.
-
Missing meta description
The meta description is the snippet under your title in search results. A compelling 120–160 character summary improves click-through even though it isn’t a direct ranking factor.
-
Title and <h1> are identical
The title and the <h1> are two chances to describe the page, not one. Write the title for the search result and the <h1> for the reader who has just arrived.
-
Title may be cut off in search results
Google shows about 600px of a title — roughly 55–65 characters, depending on the letters — and cuts off the rest. Lead with the words that matter so the visible part still makes sense, or shorten it.
-
Title too short (under 30 chars)
Very short titles waste your biggest ranking signal. Expand to a descriptive 50–60 characters.

Frequently asked questions
How long should a title tag be?
Aim for roughly 50–60 characters. Longer titles are usually cut off in results; the checker flags titles likely to be truncated and ones under 30 characters. Meta descriptions are flagged outside 70–160 characters.
Does it find duplicate titles?
Yes. It compares every indexable page and lists each repeated title with the pages that share it. It also flags pages whose title and H1 are word-for-word identical.
Does it check social tags?
Yes — Open Graph and Twitter card tags are checked too, since they control how your pages look when shared.
