How to check if meta tags are working?
Paste a public URL above. This checker reports the title, description, canonical, and robots tags it finds in the HTML, and it flags a missing title or a noindex directive. That is a presence check, not proof that Google is showing the description. Google often writes its own snippet. Tags added only by JavaScript after the page loads are not in this result.
How to test meta tags locally?
This checker only fetches a public website. Localhost, 127.0.0.1, and private network addresses are refused, so a page that exists only on your machine will not load here. On your computer, open the page and view the source of the head. To use this checker, publish the page on a public URL first, then paste that address.
Do meta tags still work?
Some do, and they do different jobs. The title is still what Google usually shows, though it can rewrite it. A meta description can still be used as the snippet, and it is not a ranking factor. Robots and canonical tags still tell Google what to index and which URL to prefer. The keywords meta tag does not. Open Graph tags still feed many share cards, and they do not rank the page.
| Tag | What it still does |
|---|---|
| title | Shown in search, and sometimes rewritten |
| meta description | A possible snippet, not a ranking signal |
| robots | noindex asks Google to leave the page out |
| canonical | Names the preferred URL |
| meta keywords | Ignored by Google |
| Open Graph | Share cards, not Google rankings |
How can I extract meta tags from a URL?
Paste the public URL and submit. The result lists the title, meta description, author, canonical, robots, viewport, charset, and language found in the first HTML response. A missing tag is marked "Not found". The extract is the raw document, so a tag that appears only after client-side rendering is not included.
