URL Meta Analyser - Free Meta Tag Checker for Live Pages

URL Meta Analyser - Check Any Live Page in Seconds
Most meta tag checkers only let you type in your own title and description manually. This URL meta analyser goes further - paste in any URL and it fetches the live page, extracts every relevant meta tag, and gives you a full breakdown. It is the fastest way to audit a page you are about to publish, check a competitor's meta setup, or diagnose why a page is not performing as expected in search results.
The tool checks everything in one pass - meta title pixel width, meta description pixel width, H1 count, canonical URL, robots directives, Open Graph tags for social sharing, and Twitter card tags. Each section gives you a clear pass, warning, or fail so you can see at a glance what needs fixing and what is already in good shape.
How to Use the URL Meta Analyser
Enter the URL
Paste the full URL of any live page into the input field above. You can include or leave out the https:// - the tool handles both.
Click Analyse
Hit the Analyse button or press Enter. The tool fetches the page and extracts all meta tags within a few seconds.
Review the Results
Each section shows a pass, warning, or fail. Green means it looks good. Amber means it needs attention. Red means something is missing or broken.
Fix and Re-check
Update the meta tags on the page, republish, and run the analyser again to confirm the changes are live and correct.
What the URL Meta Analyser Checks
Meta Title - Pixel Width
Measures the live meta title in Arial 20px - the exact font Google uses. Shows pixel width, character count, and whether the title will be truncated in search results.
Meta Description - Pixel Width
Measures the live meta description in Arial 14px. Flags whether it will be cut off on desktop or mobile, with exact pixel measurements.
H1 Tag Check
Extracts all H1 tags from the page. Flags pages with no H1, and warns if multiple H1s are found - a common SEO issue that often goes unnoticed.
Canonical URL
Shows the canonical tag value if one is set. Useful for checking whether a page is correctly pointing to itself or has a canonical pointing elsewhere.
Robots Meta Tag
Checks the robots meta tag for noindex or nofollow directives. Catches pages that have been accidentally set to noindex before they lose rankings.
Indexability Verdict
Summarises whether the page appears indexable based on the robots meta tag, giving a clear yes or no rather than leaving you to interpret raw tag values.
Open Graph Tags
Checks og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type and og:site_name. Essential for controlling how your pages look when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn and WhatsApp.
Twitter Card Tags
Checks twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description and twitter:image. Controls how your page appears when shared on X (formerly Twitter).
URL Meta Analyser - FAQs
What is a URL meta analyser?
A URL meta analyser is a tool that fetches a live web page and extracts its meta tags so you can review them without needing to look at the page source code yourself. It checks the meta title, meta description, H1 tags, canonical URL, robots directives, and social sharing tags - giving you everything you need to assess a page's SEO setup in one place.
How is this different from checking meta tags manually?
Checking meta tags manually means right-clicking a page, opening the source code, and hunting through hundreds of lines of HTML for the tags you need. A meta tag analyser does all of that automatically, extracts just the relevant tags, measures the pixel widths for you, and presents everything with clear pass or fail indicators. It is significantly faster, especially when auditing multiple pages.
Can I use this to check a competitor's meta tags?
Yes. Paste any publicly accessible URL into the tool and it will fetch and analyse the meta tags on that page. This is useful for competitor research - checking how competitors are writing their titles and descriptions, whether they have OG tags set up, and whether there are any obvious SEO issues with their pages.
Why would a page fail the robots tag check?
A page fails the robots check if it has a noindex directive in its meta robots tag. This tells Google not to include that page in search results, which can happen accidentally - for example, a developer setting noindex on a staging environment and the setting carrying over to the live site. Catching this early can prevent significant loss of organic traffic.
What are Open Graph tags and why do they matter?
Open Graph tags control how your page looks when someone shares it on social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn and WhatsApp. Without them, social platforms will guess which image and text to use, often producing a poor-looking preview. Setting og:title, og:description and og:image ensures your page looks exactly as intended when shared.
Why does H1 count matter for SEO?
Your H1 tag is the main heading of your page and tells search engines what the page is primarily about. Having no H1 is a missed opportunity to reinforce your target keyword. Having multiple H1s can dilute the signal and confuse search engines about the page's primary topic. Best practice is one clear H1 per page that reflects the page's main subject.
What is a canonical URL and why should I check it?
A canonical URL tells search engines which version of a page is the definitive one. If a page has a canonical tag pointing to a different URL, Google will credit that other URL with any ranking signals rather than the page you are looking at. Checking the canonical is important when auditing pages that are not ranking as expected - a misconfigured canonical is a common and easy-to-miss cause.
Is this URL meta analyser free?
Yes, completely free with no signup required. Paste in as many URLs as you like - there are no limits. The tool fetches pages via a proxy service to work around browser security restrictions, so it can analyse any publicly accessible URL.
