Free meta tag checker

Every title and meta description, 50 pages at a time

Paste your URLs. Get the title tag and its length, the meta description and its length, the canonical, the robots directive and the declared language, one row per page, exported as CSV.

Open the checker What you get

  • Lengths are character counts, not pixel widths. Search engines truncate on rendered width, so treat the number as a working proxy and nothing more.
At a glance

50 URLs per run

52 Fields per page

10 CSV exports

Paste up to 50 URLs

Each address is fetched once, parsed in your browser, and added to the tables below as it completes.

One per line, or separated by commas. Bare domains are fine, https:// is added for you. Anything past the first 50 is ignored.

Requests are spaced out so the run stays polite to the server on the other end.

Ready.

One row per page, every field in the head

The four columns people actually open a spreadsheet for, with forty-eight more in the Pages export for when you need them.

  1. Title and its length

    The title tag exactly as it ships, with a character count next to it.

  2. Meta description and its length

    Same treatment. A blank cell means the page has no description, which is different from a short one, and the export keeps them apart.

  3. Canonical and robots in the same row

    The two directives most likely to be silently wrong. A canonical pointing at staging, or a stray noindex that survived a launch, shows up beside the title rather than in a separate audit.

  4. Forty-eight other columns

    Declared language, viewport, heading counts, word counts, link and image counts, and every Open Graph and Twitter tag the page carries. All of it in the Pages CSV from the same run.

Five things the sort function finds

None of these need a tool to interpret them. They need the data in one column so you can see them.

What it will not tell you

Worth knowing before you rely on the results.

Common questions

How long should a title tag be?

Long enough to be specific, short enough to survive truncation. Around 50 to 60 characters is the usual working range, but the real constraint is pixel width, so treat the range as a guide rather than a rule.

Does the meta description affect rankings?

Not directly. Google has said for years that it is not a ranking factor. It affects whether a result gets clicked, which is a different thing and still worth your attention.

Why does Google show a different title than mine?

Google rewrites titles when it judges its own version more useful for the query, often pulling from the h1 or the site name. Checking the tag you actually ship is the first step in working out why it was overruled.

Can I check meta tags on a site I don't own?

Yes. It reads exactly what any visitor's browser would read, one page at a time, with a pause between requests.

Meta tags are one tab of the checker

The same run also returns headings, word counts, links, images and structured data. One run gives you all ten tables, each with its own CSV.
