Meta Tag Checker

See the important metadata a public webpage exposes.

Meta tag checker

Meta Tags

Enter a public URL and check its meta tags.

How it works

IngoHub requests the public URL, reads a bounded HTML response, and reports the title, meta description, canonical URL, and robots directive from the static HTML.

Example
URL
https://example.com
TITLE
Example Domain
META DESCRIPTION
Not found
CANONICAL
https://example.com/
ROBOTS
Not found

Questions

What is a title tag?

The title tag is the document title in the HTML head. Browsers show it in the tab, and search engines often use it as the result headline.

What is a meta description?

A meta description is an HTML tag that summarizes the page. Search engines may use it as the snippet under the result title.

What is a canonical URL?

A canonical URL is the preferred address a page declares for itself. This checker reports that href after resolving any relative value against the final fetched URL. It does not request the canonical URL.

What is a meta robots tag?

A meta robots tag is an HTML directive such as index, follow or noindex, nofollow. This checker reports the page’s HTML robots tag only.

What does “Not found” mean?

Not found means that tag was not present in the returned HTML. Empty means the tag was present but had no usable value. The checker does not invent a default.

Does this checker follow redirects?

Yes. It may follow a small bounded number of redirects, then inspect the final HTML page. Use Redirect Checker for the hop-by-hop path.

Does this tool read robots.txt?

No. It reads only the HTML meta robots tag on the fetched page. A robots.txt file is a separate resource and is not inspected here.

Does this tool execute JavaScript?

No. It inspects the HTML the server returned. It does not run page scripts, load assets, or wait for a client-rendered DOM.

Why might the result differ from what I see in my browser?

Browsers can run JavaScript, apply cookies, or use a cached document. This checker sends a simple server-side GET and parses that static HTML, so titles or tags added after page load will not appear.
