Meta Tag Analyzer

What the analyzer extracts in seconds: Paste head HTML and the tool pulls title inner text, meta name description, viewport content, link rel canonical href, meta property og title and og image, meta name robots, h1 text, html lang attribute, and counts img tags lacking alt. It measures title length against 60 characters and description against 70 to 160, flags missing viewport that breaks mobile in USA iPhone traffic, and spots duplicate title smells. Parsing is regex-based for instant feedback at $0 cost before you run Lighthouse.

Why each signal moves USA rankings and CTR: Title is the blue link from Austin to New York; over 60 chars truncates with ellipsis and buries brand. Description drives CTR not rank, but a 155-character benefit-led line lifts clicks for $49 to $299 products on 07/15/2026 drops. Canonical prevents duplicate spend across www and non-www, preserving link equity worth hundreds of USD. OG image 1200 by 630 ensures large cards on Facebook and LinkedIn, while html lang en helps screen readers and hreflang. Missing alt on product images hurts accessibility and image search traffic.

Length, duplication, and preview thresholds: Keep title 50 to 60, front-load primary keyword for Texas, Illinois, Florida queries. Description 140 to 160 with one USD price or date like 09/01/2026 avoids truncation. Viewport must be width device-width initial-scale 1. Robots defaults to index follow when absent. H1 should be one per page matching title intent but not duplicating verbatim. Lang like en or en-US signals locale for Seattle versus New York spellings. Alt text under 125 characters describes the image, not keyword stuffing.

Workflow from paste to deploy: Copy view-source head, paste, review checklist lines with check and missing flags, then fix in CMS. For Next.js or WordPress, edit SEO plugin fields, redeploy, and re-paste to confirm green ticks before 06/30/2026 sprint review. Compare title versus h1 alignment; mismatch above 30 percent signals intent drift Google may rewrite. For images, add descriptive alt like Woman hiking Colorado trail near Denver then re-run count to zero missing alts before accessibility audit.
