Meta tags checker

Free Meta Tags Checker Tool

The Meta Tags Checker analyzes your page’s title, meta description, canonical, robots directives, Open Graph, and Twitter Cards in seconds. It helps you fix SEO issues fast and optimize how your pages appear on search and social. Use it before publishing, during audits, or when rankings and CTR drop.

What is Meta Tags Checker?

The Meta Tags Checker is a diagnostic tool that scans the HTML head of any URL and reports on critical on-page SEO elements. It verifies the presence, format, and best-practice compliance of tags like title, meta description, canonical, robots, Open Graph, and Twitter Cards.

On Monkey Type, you can run the Meta Tags Checker to get instant, actionable feedback with specific fixes. It is built for marketers, SEOs, developers, and content teams who need clear answers quickly—without digging through source code.

If you are polishing search snippets, pair this with the SERP Snippet Preview to visualize how your title and description will look in Google. For crawl control checks, the robots.txt Tester can help you confirm access rules.

Why Use Meta Tags Checker?

• Fix missing or duplicated tags: Identify absent or duplicate titles and descriptions that hurt CTR and relevance. This saves time compared to manual source reviews and complements audits done with the HTTP Header Checker.
• Diagnose indexing issues fast: Spot noindex, nofollow, or conflicting robots directives that block visibility. Combine with the Redirect Checker to ensure canonicals and redirects align.
• Optimize social sharing: Validate Open Graph and Twitter Cards so links render with the right title, description, and image. Use the Open Graph Preview to confirm the final appearance.
• Enforce canonical integrity: Detect missing or incorrect rel=canonical to prevent duplicate content and diluted signals. Cross-check domain setup via DNS Lookup when domain variants are involved.
• Standardize at scale: Create repeatable QA steps for content releases. With the Meta Tags Checker, teams maintain consistency across templates and CMS updates on Monkey Type.
