Meta Tags Checker

Google truncates around 60 characters on desktop and roughly 50 on mobile. Under 60 keeps the whole title visible; under 20 usually means you are wasting the strongest ranking signal on the page.

Aim for 120 to 160 characters. Google rewrites descriptions about 70% of the time anyway, but a clear one still wins clicks when it is used.

It can. Without a canonical, the same content reachable at /page, /page?utm_source=x and /page/ competes with itself and splits its own link signals.

We cache the result for an hour so repeat checks of the same URL do not re-fetch the site. We never store the page body.

Title, meta description, canonical, meta robots and viewport. Everything else is either ignored (keywords, author, revisit-after) or handled better elsewhere. Open Graph tags matter for sharing, not for ranking.

No. Google stopped using it in 2009 and Bing treats it as a spam signal. If a page still has one, delete it.

Google rewrites titles roughly a third of the time, usually when the title is truncated, keyword-stuffed, or does not match the query. A concise title under 60 characters that matches the H1 is rewritten least often.

They should say the same thing but need not match word for word. The title competes for the click in the results page; the H1 confirms the topic once the visitor lands. Keep both about the same subject or you send a mixed signal.
