Meta Description Checker

Scan one or more pages to verify their meta descriptions, confirm the length, and get actionable notes so you can optimise your snippets for better CTR.

How to use

  1. Paste one or more URLs (comma separated) that you want to inspect.
  2. Click “Inspect descriptions”; we fetch the pages once and read the meta description tags.
  3. Review the length, quality, and actionable note that flags missing, short, or long meta descriptions.
  4. Adjust Snippet length in your CMS, then re-run the tool to confirm the update.

FAQ

What length should a meta description be?

Aim for 70–160 characters. Shorter snippets miss context; anything above 160 chars may get truncated in search results.

Why is a description marked as missing?

If there is no <meta name="description"> tag or the tag is empty, the tool will mark it as missing. Add a concise summary to improve click-through.

Can the tool read Open Graph descriptions?

Yes—it falls back to og:description when a standard meta description is absent, so you still get guidance.
