Tips

✓Google cuts titles by width, not by character count. About 580px on desktop — roughly 63 English characters.
✓Descriptions show about 920px, which is roughly 143 English characters across two lines.
✓Put the words people search for near the start of the title, where they survive a cut.
✓Google often writes its own description from the page instead of using yours, especially when yours does not match the search.
✓Give every page its own title and description. Duplicates make it harder for Google to tell pages apart.
✓These limits are measured by the SEO community, not published by Google, and they shift. Treat them as a guide.

Meta Checker: Inspecting Title, Description, and OG Tags

When you share a URL on Slack, Twitter, or KakaoTalk, you see a preview card — that's pulled from the page's meta tags. Bad or missing meta tags produce ugly previews. This tool inspects what your URLs send.

Three sets of meta tags matter for SEO and sharing: standard HTML (title, description), Open Graph (og:title, og:description, og:image — used by Facebook, LinkedIn, KakaoTalk), and Twitter Cards (twitter:card, twitter:title — used by X/Twitter).

All three should be present and accurate on every page. Missing tags cause platforms to fall back to whatever scraping they can do, which often produces wrong or unflattering previews.

Tags this tool checks

•<title> — appears in browser tabs and search results
•<meta name="description"> — search snippet under the title
•og:title, og:description, og:image — Facebook, LinkedIn, KakaoTalk previews
•twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image — X previews
•canonical link — tells search engines the preferred URL

Extended FAQ

Why does my page have no preview image on social media?

Missing og:image, or the URL is broken/blocked. The image must be publicly accessible, typically 1200×630 pixels, and under 1 MB.

Are my URLs stored?

No, and nothing is fetched either — you paste the title, description and URL yourself, and the page only draws what they would look like.
