SEO

SEO meta tags

Checks the tags search engines and social networks read from your page: title, description, Open Graph, headings, viewport, language and structured data.

How it works

Once a day, we read the tags that search engines and social networks take from your page:

  • <title> and meta description: the headline and snippet shown in search results;
  • Open Graph (og:title, og:image): the title and image shown when the page is shared on social networks and in chat apps;
  • <h1>: the main heading of the page;
  • viewport meta: without it, mobile browsers show a zoomed-out desktop page, and Google ranks the page lower on mobile;
  • <html lang>: the page's language, used by search engines and screen readers;
  • structured data: JSON-LD blocks must be valid JSON;
  • hreflang: alternate language versions must exist and link back to this page.

Statuses

Status Meaning
OK Title, description, Open Graph, h1, viewport and lang are set.
Warning Something is missing or invalid (the report lists it), or we could not connect.

By default you are notified of failures only. This check never fails, so it only alerts you if you change its notification level.

Example

<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

  <meta property="og:title" content="Example: what the page is about">
