What Gets Checked
Meta Tag Checker evaluates five key areas of your page's on-page SEO. Here's what we look at in each category.
Essential Tags
The foundation of on-page SEO. We check your title tag (aiming for 30-60 characters), meta description (120-160 characters is the sweet spot), canonical URL, viewport meta tag for mobile responsiveness, robots directives, and character encoding. These are the tags that every page needs to get right.
Open Graph Tags
Open Graph tags control how your page appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, and other social platforms. We check for the four essential OG tags: og:title, og:description, og:image, and og:url. Without these, social platforms will guess what to display — and they often get it wrong.
Twitter Cards
Twitter (now X) uses its own set of meta tags to generate rich previews when links are shared. We verify your twitter:card type, twitter:title, twitter:description, and twitter:image are present and properly formatted so your content looks professional when shared.
Heading Structure
Search engines use headings to understand the structure and hierarchy of your content. We check that your page has exactly one H1 tag (your primary heading) and that H2 tags are used to organise supporting sections. Multiple H1 tags or missing headings can confuse search engines about your page's topic.
Image Accessibility
We audit every image on the page for alt text — the descriptive text that tells search engines (and screen readers) what an image shows. Missing alt text is a common SEO issue and an accessibility problem. We report exactly how many images are missing this important attribute.
