The Meta Tag Checker is a free tool from Ergora for site owners that reads a page's title, description, headings and search meta tags and flags anything missing or the wrong length.
Enter a page address. We read its title, description, headings and the meta tags that decide how it shows in search, and flag anything missing or the wrong length.
Free, no sign-up. We fetch public pages only and store nothing.
The title and meta description are the headline and summary people read in the search results. Get them right and more people click; leave them missing and Google writes its own, often from the first text it finds on the page.
Most meta problems are a minute's work once you can see them: a title that is too long to show in full, a missing description, two H1s, or a noindex left behind from a staging site that is quietly keeping the page out of Google.
Aim for 30 to 60 characters. Shorter wastes the space; longer and Google usually truncates it in the results. Put the most important words first in case it is cut.
Not as a ranking factor, but a clear description lifts the click-through rate, which matters. Google often rewrites it to match the search, so treat it as a strong suggestion rather than a guarantee.
HTML5 technically allows it, but one clear H1 per page remains the safe, conventional choice. It tells readers and search engines what the page is about in one line.
It tells Google not to show the page in search. That is right for thank-you and admin pages, but a problem when it is left on a page you want to rank. This check flags it because it overrides everything else.
No. Google has ignored meta keywords for well over a decade, and filling it in can hand your target terms to competitors who read your source. Leave it out.
This is a one-off check. In Ergora the SEO specialist in the Content pack runs checks like this across every page, connects Search Console, and turns what it finds into fixes, briefs and posts that help you rank, week after week.
