Free Meta Tags & Open Graph Checker

Meta tags tell search engines and social platforms how to display your pages. This checker inspects your title tag, meta description, canonical URL, robots directives, and the Open Graph and Twitter Card tags that control how your links look when shared.

WPDoctor shows what's present, what's missing, and where lengths or values are off — so your pages look great in Google and on social media.

How it works

How meta tags shape your search and social presence

Meta tags are the invisible signals that decide how your pages look in Google and on social media. Your title tag and meta description are effectively your ad copy in the search results — they decide whether someone clicks. Your Open Graph and Twitter Card tags decide whether a shared link looks like a polished preview with an image, or a broken, unappealing URL.

This checker reads all of these on your page and tells you what's present, what's missing and what's the wrong length.

Writing titles and descriptions that earn clicks

A good title leads with the primary keyword, stays under about 60 characters so it isn't truncated, and reads like something a human wants to click. A good description expands on the promise, includes the keyword naturally, and gives a reason to choose your result over the others.

Two pages should never share the same title or description — duplicates confuse search engines and waste the chance to target different queries. The checker flags length problems and missing tags so every page is pulling its weight.

Getting social sharing right with Open Graph

When your page is shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp or X, those platforms read your Open Graph tags to build the preview card. Without og:image and og:title, the share often looks empty or broken — and people are far less likely to click.

The report tells you exactly which social tags are missing and recommends correctly sized values, so every share of your content looks professional.

Frequently asked questions

What is Open Graph?

Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image) control how your page appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn and other platforms.

How long should a meta description be?

Roughly 120–160 characters. Too short wastes space; too long gets truncated in results. The checker flags both.

What is a canonical tag?

It tells Google the preferred URL for a page, preventing duplicate-content issues. A wrong canonical can hide the wrong page from search.

Do meta keywords still matter?

No — Google ignores the meta keywords tag. Titles, descriptions and structured data are what count now.

Does Google always use my meta description?

Not always — it sometimes generates its own snippet from the page. But a strong, relevant description is used often enough that it's well worth writing one for every important page.

Why does my link look wrong when shared?

That's almost always missing or incorrect Open Graph tags — especially og:image. This checker shows exactly which social tags are missing so shares look right.
