Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Meta Tag Tester used for?

The Meta Tag Tester lets you paste any HTML and instantly validate all the meta tags in the head section. It is especially useful for testing SEO, Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags before a page goes live, after a site migration, or when debugging why social sharing previews look wrong.

What tags does the tester validate?

The tester validates: meta title, meta description, robots meta, viewport meta, charset declaration, canonical link, Open Graph (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type), Twitter Card (twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image), and custom meta tags detected.

Can I test Open Graph tags before publishing?

Yes — paste your page's head content and the tester immediately validates and previews your Open Graph tags. This lets you catch missing og:image tags, incorrect og:type values, or descriptions that are too long before the page goes live.

What is the robots meta tag and what values are valid?

The robots meta tag controls search engine crawler behaviour. Common values are: index/noindex (include or exclude from search results), follow/nofollow (follow or ignore links on the page), noarchive (do not show cached version). Multiple directives are combined with commas.

What should the viewport meta tag contain?

The correct viewport tag for a responsive website is: meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1". Without this tag, mobile browsers render the page at desktop width and scale it down, producing a poor mobile experience.

Why is the charset declaration important?

The charset meta tag tells the browser how to decode the page's text. Without it, characters outside ASCII may render as garbled placeholder characters. It should be the first tag in the head section.
