Meta Tag Checker

Q: What is a meta tag checker?

A meta tag checker inspects the HTML head of any webpage and displays its title tag, meta description, Open Graph tags, and Twitter Card tags — the same data search engines and social platforms read to display previews of your page.

Q: Why are meta tags important for SEO?

Meta tags control how your page appears in search results and when shared on social media. A well-written title and description improve click-through rate, while Open Graph tags ensure your page shows a proper preview image and summary on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms.

Q: What OG tags should every page have?

At minimum every page should include og:title, og:description, og:image, and og:url. These four tags cover what most platforms need to render a rich preview. Adding og:type and a Twitter Card tag (twitter:card) improves compatibility further.

Q: Why is my OG image not showing on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn aggressively caches OG data the first time a URL is shared. If you update your og:image after sharing, LinkedIn will keep showing the old preview. Use the LinkedIn Post Inspector to force it to re-scrape your page and pull the current image.

What OG tags should every page have?+

Every page needs og:title, og:description, og:image (1200×630px) and og:type. Twitter cards need twitter:card set to summary_large_image for best display in X/Twitter.

Why is my OG image not showing on LinkedIn?+

LinkedIn caches OG images aggressively. After updating your og:image, use the LinkedIn Post Inspector to clear the cache and force a refresh.

What are Meta Tags?

Meta tags are snippets of HTML in a page’s head section that describe the page to browsers and search engines — including the title that appears in search results, the description shown beneath it, and directives like whether the page should be indexed at all.

Essential Meta Tags for SEO

The title tag and meta description directly affect how a page appears in search results and influence click-through rate; Open Graph tags control how a link looks when shared on social media; and the canonical tag tells search engines which URL is the “real” version when similar content exists at multiple addresses.

How to Fix Meta Tag Issues

Common problems include a missing or duplicate title tag, a meta description that’s too long and gets truncated in search results, or a missing canonical tag on pages with URL parameters — this tool surfaces exactly which tags are present, missing, or malformed on any page you check.
