Free Meta Tag Checker: Analyze Title Tags & Meta Descriptions Instantly
Meta tags are the first thing search engines and users see about your page. A poorly written title tag can tank your click-through rate, and missing Open Graph tags mean your content looks broken when shared on social media.
Citedy's free Meta Tag Checker analyzes any URL and shows you exactly what search engines and social platforms see — title tags, meta descriptions, Open Graph tags, Twitter Cards, canonical URLs, and more.

FAQ
What's the ideal title tag length?
50-60 characters. Google typically displays the first 50-60 characters of a title tag. Citedy's checker warns you if your title is too long or too short.
Do meta descriptions affect rankings?
Not directly, but they significantly affect click-through rate (CTR). A compelling meta description can increase CTR by 5-10%, which indirectly improves rankings.
How often should I check meta tags?
Check after every content update, redesign, or CMS migration. Also audit your top 20 pages quarterly.
