Analyzing meta tags...
Check meta tags programmatically for any URL. Monitor your entire site's SEO health, track changes over time, and catch issues before they hurt your rankings.
Meta tags are HTML elements in a page's <head> section that provide metadata about the page to search engines, social media platforms, and browsers. They don't appear visually on the page but control how it's indexed, previewed, and shared.
<title> and meta description directly affect search rankings and click-through rates. robots controls indexing. canonical prevents duplicate content issues. These four are non-negotiable for any page you want to rank.
At minimum: og:title, og:description, og:image, and og:url. For Twitter, add twitter:card (set to summary_large_image for a large image preview). Without these, social shares look like plain text links.
After every deployment and at least monthly for important pages. Meta tags can break silently during CMS updates, template changes, or plugin upgrades. Automated monitoring via the SnapAPI metadata endpoint catches issues before they affect traffic.
Keep it between 120-160 characters. Google truncates longer descriptions in search results. Front-load the most important keywords and include a call to action when appropriate.
