Why check your meta tags?

Meta tags are snippets of text that describe a page's content. They don't appear on the page itself, but only in the page's source code. They are essential for SEO, social sharing, and accessibility.

What tags should every page have?

  • <title>: Defines the title of the document (technically not a meta tag, but strictly required).
  • <meta name="description">: Provides a short summary of the page, used by search engines in search results.
  • <meta charset="utf-8">: Defines the character encoding for the HTML document.
  • <meta name="viewport">: Gives the browser instructions on how to control the page's dimensions and scaling (crucial for mobile responsiveness).

Debugging Issues

If you don't see tags that you expect to see, it may be because your tags are being rendered by client-side JavaScript (e.g. a React SPA without SSR). Search engines and most social crawlers do not execute JavaScript when scanning for meta tags. Ensure your tags are present in the raw HTML payload sent by your server.
