Meta tag checker: title, description and H1
Paste up to 10 URLs and see each page's title, meta description and H1 with character counts, duplicated tags and a preview of how the page may look in Google results.
What the meta tag checker checks
We fetch the page like a search engine crawler, follow redirects and read the raw HTML of the final page: title, meta description, the first H1, canonical and meta robots, plus how many times each appears.
Lengths are in characters. Google measures width in pixels (about 600 px for titles), so this is an approximation: about 60 characters for titles and 160 for descriptions is safe.
Why Google shows a different title or description
Google may rewrite a title that's too long, vague or repeated across many pages, and it picks descriptions to match the query. Well-written, unique tags make it more likely you'll see what you wrote.
Questions about meta tags
What's a good title tag length?
About 50–60 characters. Google cuts titles wider than about 600 pixels. Put the most important words first.
What's a good meta description length?
About 150–160 characters. A shorter description wastes space in the result; a longer one gets cut.
Can a page have several H1s?
It can, but one clear H1 states the topic most plainly. Multiple H1s are usually a template bug.
Why doesn't the checker see my title?
We read the raw HTML, like a crawler on the first fetch. If JavaScript adds the title, it isn't in the raw HTML — consider rendering it on the server.
